A BIG part of rescue is asking questions!

May it be about programs that others offer, classes that are available, or experiencing a side to rescue that is “new” to our daily operations!

Yesterday, Spencer, Ro and MC, a dedicated GHHS advocate and queen of Home at Last Farm Sanctuary, visited Fabled Farm Rescue in Tennessee. The hard working, passionate couple that built this rescue and sanctuary with their own hands, welcomed our team with open arms. They provided a 2-hour tour and explained their “why”, how they accomplished their dream, and what their day-to-day looks like with pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, horses and their new “working cat” program.

We left feeling empowered by their mission, and look forward to learning more as time allows…

Meet LATTE.
She's a sweet girl who loves attention. She loves to be petted and play. She is also an independent kind of gal who tells it like it is.

Latte is a stunning bright calico with large flashes of snowy white, deep black, and rust. Check out those gorgeous, bright, green eyes. She doesn't miss a thing.

Latte gets along with other friendly cats, as long as she can rule the roost. Come meet this girl!! Come adopt this girl for $25.00. She’s worth far more than that!!! But luckily she’s part of our campaign.

📸 2024 Pet Photo Contest 📸

Our annual Pet Photo Contest is coming quick, so mark those calendars and start taking those photos (like you don’t have 1000+ on your phone already 🙃)…

deTAILS:

⭐️ We are lowering the entry fee to $10, per pet! Votes will remain $1, each. Our goal is to have 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ pets in the contest this year - pups, cats, ducks, lizards, horses, Guinea pigs, and and any other furry, feathered, or scaled friend you may call your best friend!

⭐️ Over the past few years we have moved away from the calendar, as they are a BIG expense and very few sell these days. We have done notecards and yearbooks, but thanks to a ton of conversations and interest, we will be creating the GHHS “Serving Up FURever Love” Cookbook 🤩 that will be ready before Christmas. More details to come!

⭐️ Verity Integrated Systems, an amazing community partner, is joining forces with us this year. They are a dog friendly office and are currently hosting a pre-contest, contest! Their support and creativity allows us to raise more funds for the pets in our care, provide awesome prize packs, and have a fun, pet-friendly “live” voting party at Three Tails ReSale on 9/30 (including some special shopping perks).

⭐️ And, last but not least (at least for today!), we would like to introduce you to the 2023 PPC winner, Sticky Rice, the poster girl of this year’s contest 🩷

Hey there, I am Shorty 🐾
I have a few things to share with you!

1. I am officially up for adoption!! I came to GHHS after Tails & Ales of Guntersville helped me out. I have been in my PAWSOME foster home for a couple of months, allowing me to have a needed surgery and recovery time. Although I love my foster family, it is time to find my FURever home! Link to my bio is in the comments!

2. August 17 is National Nonprofit Day! We have an anonymous donor supporting Greater Huntsville Humane Society Presents: Rock Your Paws featuring Sponge & more. They will match up to $500 through the weekend. Will you help us raise the match?

3. Saturday is also National Thrift Store Day! Three Tails ReSale will be 50% Off and Butterfly Bliss Sweet Treats will be on-site from 9AM-11AM. Of course you can purchase as many 🍩s as you want, but you will receive a free order with a store purchase of $10 or more!

Happy Fri-YAY

Gordy, aka Mr. Photogenic

This playful, intelligent boy has been with us for 315 days and he needs OUT of here!

- He loves playing tug-a-war and ball!
- He loves the water!
- He knows “sit” and keeps his kennel clean!

He would love an active family that enjoys being outside.

Stop by and ask the team to meet him out on the field, where he can show you his true, goofy personality, away from the kennels.

Gordy is one of many that we are striving to find FURever for during the campaign. Hill’s Pet Nutrition Greater Good Charities WeRescue Clear the Shelters

Every year, NBCUniversal Local’s NBC and Telemundo owned stations, plus more than a hundred affiliated stations across the nation, partner with animal shelters and rescues in their communities to promote pet adoption and raise needed funds for shelters and rescues. Now in its 10th year, Clear The Shelters / Desocupar Los Albergues is an annual, nationwide pet adoption campaign led by NBCUniversal Local, a division of NBCUniversal.

How will it work at GHHS?

⭐️ With approved application, ALL adoptions are $25 throughout the campaign! Adoption fee “matches” will be provided to GHHS by Dennis & Jane Loeffelholz in honor of Winnie, their beloved GHHS rescue.

⭐️ Our adoptables will have increased visibility thrughout the campaign, with the highest of hopes that we

Today is International Cat Day. (The cats would argue that EVERY day is Cat Day. Period!)

So to honor the day we bring you MOLLY. She is the quintessential model of the aloof, independent…and extremely edgy feline.

First off, we do want to mention how lovely she is. She wears a sophisticated dark gray and white coat. Her stunning peridot don’t miss a thing. And check out that fashion forward “eye liner.”😻

Of course, all this beauty comes with a hitch. Molly is absolutely her own girl. Having been raised in a home, she certainly is no barn cat. And she IS basically friendly. But she prides herself in throwing unpredictable punches at anyone and everyone, when she feels like it. She’s a sneaky, ninja feline. So keep your hands to yourself and your eyes down.🙀

We’ve been told Molly does not do well with young children. Well…it could be, in the past, there were some kitty boundaries that were ignored. And now, we’re all targeted.😼

If you want a scary cat, and a cat that you need to tiptoe around, Molly is your girl. No young children, please. No clingy, needy hoomans. Just adopt her and give her the run of the house. Come take her, please!😻

Meet LU! 😻😻😻ADOPTED😻😻😻
He is a stunning, long-haired black cat looking for a loving home. You just can't miss those huge, emerald eyes! This boy is a TEN! A winner for sure!

He's also a bit spicey. There's no getting around it. Lu is going to take some time and patience. Whatever he has encountered in the past has eroded his trust in people. Lu needs a calm hand and a calm home. He does not do well with young children. Once he does warm up to you, he can be cuddly...but always on his own terms. Lu enjoys lounging and taking long naps. He's also a playful dude, who loves to entertain us.
