All is PAWSible, if You Just BELIEVE!

This week 🌟 ELEVEN 🌟 GHHS pets went HOME - happy tails to all of our pets and their FURever families 🐾

12/14/2024

Hi, I’m Blue!

I’m a goofball, with a big heart searching for my FURever BFF, could that be you?

I love playing with my human friends, but can also be entertained exploring on my own so a nice big yard would be great for me. If you stop by, ask the team to meet me in the fields, that is where I am more comfortable meeting new people and you will be able to see me, be me!

Fun fact: I am a littermate to Woodstock that I have heard most people around here know really well. Can you help me find a home like you did my brother?

Two turtle doves….SISCO (Adopted!) and MERCURY (Adopted!)

These two boys are “brothers from another mother”. They are playmates...best buds from two litters who were all fostered together. They are both friendly, playful, and confident. And they are both sleek, handsome, and athletic. Check out their generous sprays of white whiskers!

SISCO and MERCURY are not bonded…but how fun would it be to have these two boys decorating your house??
Adopt one. Better yet - adopt both!!!
Come meet these fellows. Apply at https://ghhs.org/animal/mercury/

⭐️ Where are they now? Wednesday ⭐️

In 2022, Moose (fka Iceman) stole the hearts of the GHHS staff and volunteers. This big, handsome boy was the BEST!

After spending time in foster with Auntie Ro, he found his FURever with Sugar his fur sister and his PAWSOME hoomans! He has since moved to Florida and spends the day providing non-stop entertainment thanks to his goofy antics and charming personality!

We sure do miss this boy, but we hope ALL of our pets are lucky enough to hit the jackpot like Moose did 💙

Meet VILLA.
This sweetie is a FIV+/FELV+ guest at our Cat Haven and adoption center. Villa is super, duper friendly, curious, and playful. She loves attention and has a huge purr. She is a bit sassy and maybe even a little bossy! 😻

Villa has bold tabby markings on a snowy white coat. She is delightfully chonky and sturdy! My oh my! How lovely! Big personality, big gal! She will be a very engaging companion. Come meet her!

Saturday Snapshot

Jorge: This 5-month-old cutie is waiting for his FURever to come in and meet him! He is a playful pup that loves to cuddle and receive belly rubs. https://ghhs.org/animal/jorge/ 🐾

Giving Tuesday: Our current tally for Giving Tuesday is 🌟 $9,339.70 🌟 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Of course, our $2K match pledge will be added to this amount once received, bringing our total to 57% of our set goal for the day (you can see the thermometer in real-time at, ghhs.org/giving) 🤩 As a reminder, all Giving Tuesday funds will be applied to the $104K Cat Room Renovation project. Our first milestone goal was $60K and by the end of the week we would love to be at $65K - only $1500 to go!

🎄Jingle & Mingle Market 🎄: Our last market of the year is at The Orion Amphitheater on Sunday, 11AM-5PM. Please join us and dozens of PAWSOME vendors from our area for some holiday shopping. Three Tails ReSale will be selling goods, and all purchases will be via a donation, with 100% of the funds being applied to Giving Tuesday (to help us with that $1500)! We have a variety of Christmas items, stocking stuffers, pet toys, and so much more - mostly new with tags!

Website💻: Due to the update in our adoption software our adoption applications are not communicating with the website. We are diligently working on getting this resolved, but it may take some time. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Thank you for advocating with us - it has been a busy few months with a lot of goals! ALL of YOUR support is truly appreciated 💙 Thank you for advocating with us - we couldn't do it without you!

Monday, 12/9: Applications are WORKING! Thank you for your patience 🐶🐱

Update: We have figured out the issue as of Saturday morning, but unfortunately with the update, we are unable to redirect as needed quickly. Please be patient with the staff today - it is out of their hands at this time.

****

We apologize, our ADOPT portion of the website is currently down!

Our shelter software updated yesterday and there seems to be a disconnect to our URL. We are working on getting this corrected!

Thank you for your patience 🐾

PUPDATE: All of today’s laundry has been picked up - THANK YOU, our supporters are the best! We will have more tomorrow (Thursday) 😉

We need YOUR help - please!

Our dryer is down 😭😭 and if you know rescue, our washer runs nonstop!
We would love for any advocates to come pick up a bag (or two!) of the WASHED bags, dry the items and bring back them back during operating hours, 10AM-4PM!

Thank YOU in advance 💙

383 Days...
3-8-3 DAYS!

That is how long I have been at GHHS. Although I spent some time in foster (with other dogs!), I have been back at the shelter waiting for the right person to fall in love with...is that you?

What I love:
💙 Walks
💙 Treats
💙 Toys

More about me:
💙 I am about 2 1/2
💙 I am a medium sized boy, around 40 pounds
💙 I am neutered and up to date on all my shots
💙 I LOVE playing with dogs that are the same energy level as me

If you are interested in meeting me, please stop by the shelter and ask to meet me outside my kennel so you can see my TRUE, bestest boy personality!

We just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our newest community partner Madison Taproom!

This holiday season Lauren, their PAWSOME owner, wanted to give back to the pets of GHHS and we were honored. The Taproom's tree is decked out with adoptables and wishlists and our Southern Birch Company GHHS ornaments! We are working on providing more as it is going really well 🤩

The Taproom team took it one step further on Thanksgiving and provided a FREE potluck to those in the community - extending their "family" just a bit more. You can see their FOX54 News Huntsville interview via the link in the comments!

Thank you to the Madison Taproom and their patrons for making this a great holiday of giving 🐾 Please stop by and see them on or anytime, it is a great little hangout!
