This sweet boy needs a family! Scooby and his brother were found as strays and the folks who found them can no longer keep them. He is a sweet and playful boy that gets along well with the other dogs here and would make a great family dog! He has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and his adoption fee is only $100. If you are interested in this guy then please give us a call! 618-638-4555. Come back tomorrow and meet his brother Scrappy! To see more of our adoptable pets, please visit www.adoptapet.com

Have a Very Merry and Safe Christmas this year!

12/25/2024

The holidays bring festive decor, including beautiful plants, but many of these can pose serious risks to our feline friends. Here’s a guide to the dangers of popular holiday plants and how to keep your cat safe.
⚠️ Highly Toxic Plants to Avoid
Holly: Both the leaves and berries can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy.
Mistletoe: Can lead to severe gastrointestinal upset, difficulty breathing, and even seizures in severe cases.
Yew: Extremely poisonous, yew can cause sudden death due to its toxic alkaloids.
Amaryllis: All parts are toxic, especially the bulb, causing vomiting, drooling, and tremors.
Christmas Rose (Helleborus niger): Contains toxins that can cause abdominal pain, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and depression.
Lilies: Even small amounts of lily ingestion can cause kidney failure in cats, making them among the most dangerous plants for cats year-round.
⚠️ Plants with Mild Toxicity
Poinsettias: While not as toxic as once believed, the sap can irritate your cat’s mouth and stomach, leading to drooling and mild vomiting.
Christmas Cactus: Generally non-toxic, but ingestion may cause mild stomach upset in some cats.

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from the Board, Staff and of course all the fur babies here at the shelter!

Just a few reminders:
✨We are open today (12/24) till 3pm instead of 5pm.
✨We will be CLOSED tomorrow so that our staff can spend time with their families for the holiday! But, don’t worry we are making sure all the animals are taken care of and getting some extra treats for Christmas (thanks to Tiny's owner!)🎄
✨ If you are wanting to bring donations after hours, or tomorrow you are more then welcome to leave them at the front door. Someone will be here periodically to bring things in. We are so grateful and appreciative for all the donations we’ve gotten so far.

Merry Christmas From Project Hope 🎄🎁

Friends,
We are accepting aluminum cans once again!! Here are a few requests that make it a little easier for us to recycle:
1.Please remember to tie your bags shut so that the cans don't spill out
2. Leave labels on your cat food cans (they stick together otherwise, because of the glue left behind on the can.)
3. Please drain all the liquid out of your cans
4. Please do not mix in vegetable cans (they are steel) or plastic bottles
Thanks again for supporting Project Hope!

This handsome boy needs a family. Mistletom wanted a pretty Christmas name to celebrate the holidays so we did our best and his name fits him well. He is around 2 to 3 years old and is a sweet guy. He was living the hard outside life and when we took him in he was dirty and very hungry. Mistletom is loving his indoor life and is hoping to get a home of his own. His adoption fee is only $75 and he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in this handsome guy then please give us a call! 618-638-4555
