Euthanasia Wednesday 6/5/24

Everything pictured below must leave by wednesday, no possible way around it.

Before the negative/bashing comments begin let me add that- the overflow has been so high that currently new dogs are housed in outdoors kennels with no rooftops. Our weather, severe rain and severe heat advisory makes it unsafe and inhumane to allow them to house this way for a prolonged period of time. It is against shelter policy to close intake. This is an open intake animal shelter that cannot turn away strays and owner surrenders. They have a job to do and service to provide to our community.

Lets refrain from the negative comments and come together as a united community to save our precious crowley pets.

No extensions will be allowed as every kennel will be needed to move dogs inside of the shelter facility. it will be a miracle to pull it off. But worth every effort.

We have anazing dogs. Any questions please ask and we will do our best to get the answers.

We appreciate the love, support, and any help that can be offered.

We do allow nearby fostering, and public adoptions.
There is an application process.

Pen Pals would like to take this opportunity to thank the men, women, and dogs of our armed forces that gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue to be free. 🪖❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

TO MY RESCUE Pet

There's no need to flinch when I lift my hand
No need to cower each time I stand
No need to run when I come near
No need to tremble - I see your fear.

You can sleep with both eyes shut,
Don't need to jump when you wake up.
Your food is yours to eat in peace
No need to fight to keep your feast

You don't need to lie upon a hard floor
The beds and sofas are yours to explore
Don't need to sit out in the rain
The house is your shelter, your new domain.

I cannot erase the memories and fears
can't compensate for the wasted years
All I have is what you see
But I give you it all and i give you me.

I give you these arms to comfort and hold
I give you this voice for the joys you'll be told
I give you my heart and abundance of love
I give you my soul and I hope its enough.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and the shelter was dark, not a creature was stirring, not a meow or a bark. Their stockings were hung on their kennels with care, in hopes forever families would soon be there. The kittens were snuggled, cozy in their beds, while visions of catnip danced in their heads. The puppies curled up and tucked in just right, dreaming of bones on this warm Christmas night.

When suddenly outside, there arose such a clatter! They had to get up to see what was the matter. They perked up their ears and with nose to the air, caught a whiff of something they couldn’t believe was there.

For what to their puppy dog eyes should appear, but forever families for all with all of their gear. They whined and they whimpered as they smelled the snacks, all brought from families who’d love them right back.

As they walked through the door, the cats let out a sigh, they had beds, treats, and toys packed up to the sky. A new collar and leash they had in their paw, ready with a smile for the dogs that they saw.
They jumped into arms with barks full of glee, thrilled that of all the pets, they picked me!

So was the tale of their adoption night,
Are you the forever family that will make it just right?

We have lots of pets waiting on the Night Before Christmas this year. Snuggle in, little loves, your forever home is near!

Tis the season to give, and you guys showed up! Prison Enterprises and the accounting department at Head Quarters both chose us as their charitable organization for Christmas this year! They both collected all sorts of items; from treats to toys and everything in-between! Several of our followers made monetary donations that will be used for vaccines and medicines for our furry friends! Ms. Trish from booth 108 at the Jockey Lot in Lafayette collected blankets, beds, and so much more as well as a cash donation jar that she worked diligently to raise money for us! We made a list for Christmas lights, and several of you came by and dropped off lights to us! We are so thankful that we have people like you who have the heart for animals like we do! Our biggest blessing was all of our adopters in 2023! So many of our animals found their furever homes and that is what it's all about for us! Let's clear the shelter in 2024!

Did you know that Pen Pals is a non-profit animal Shelter and adoption center? We rely on donors, like you, to keep our doors open. This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. Please consider donating to your local shelter. It takes a village to raise a child and a community to do what we do.
