Cleburne County Animal Shelter

06/29/2025

Cleburne County Animal Shelter was blessed to recieve 2 grants from the Coosa Valley RC & D during the 2025 grant cycle!

Our first grant allowed us to purchase an 8 compartment indoor cage bank to secure small animals.

Our second grant allowed us to have heated concrete installed for our outdoor kennels. We know it's hard to fathom being cold as we approach our hottest month of the year, but come winter, dogs in our care will not require emergency indoor shelter when the temps drop to record lows as they did last winter.

Coosa Valley RC & D, we couldn't do this without your support! Thank you for seeing our vision and believing in us.

Daffodils
These flowers contain lycorine, an alkaloid with strong emetic properties (something that triggers vomiting). Ingestion of the bulb, plant or flower can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and even possible cardiac arrhythmias or respiratory depression. Crystals are found in the outer layer of the bulbs, similar to hyacinths, which cause severe tissue irritation and secondary drooling. Daffodil ingestions can result in more severe symptoms so if an exposure is witnessed or symptoms are seen, we recommend seeking veterinary care.

Tulips

Tulips contain allergenic lactones while hyacinths contain similar alkaloids. The toxic principle of these plants is very concentrated in the bulbs (versus the leaf or flower), so make sure your dog isn’t digging up the bulbs in the garden. When the plant parts or bulbs are chewed or ingested, it can result in tissue irritation to the mouth and esophagus. Typical signs include profuse drooling, vomiting, or even diarrhea, depending on the amount consumed. With large ingestions of the bulb, more severe symptoms such as an increase in heart rate and changes in respiration can be seen, and should be treated by a veterinarian. These more severe signs are seen in cattle or our overzealous, chowhound Labradors.

Lilies

❌🐈🚫🐱

There are dangerous and benign lilies out there, and it’s important to know the difference. Peace, Peruvian, and Calla lilies contain oxalate crystals that cause minor signs, such as tissue irritation to the mouth, tongue, pharynx, and esophagus – this results in minor drooling. The more dangerous, potentially fatal lilies are true lilies, and these include Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter and Japanese Show lilies – all of which are highly toxic to cats! Even small ingestions (such as 2-3 petals or leaves) can result in severe kidney failure. If your cat is seen consuming any part of a lily, bring your cat (and the plant) immediately to a veterinarian for medical care. The sooner you bring in your cat, the better and more efficiently we can treat the poisoning.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together."

First State Animal Center and SPCA in Delaware accepted care of this literal truckload of abandon chicks. It's 800 miles away, but we'd love to hear if anyone plans on making a road trip!

The Delaware based shelter needs to get them adopted & funds for their care.

These are broiler chickens and will require a controlled diet. They will only be adopted as pets. See comments for adoption info. ⬇️

After receiving 8,100 surviving birds on May 2nd that were stranding for 3 1/2 days in a USPS Truck without water, food or temperature control. First State Animal Center took delivery directly from the postal service. We have been caring for these birds 24/7 with heat, food, water and survival care for the past 10 days, we have an amazing amount of survivors in the thousands despite terrible odds of survival. We are continuing to ask for donations to help pay for the extensive efforts, care and support we have expended to take on this massive undertaking to save these babies.
Adoptions are starting today at 32 Shelter Circle, Camden DE 19934.
