🚨 Important CnPnV Update🚨

Due to a recent outbreak of Canine Pneumovirus in Birmingham, GBHS is taking proactive measures to protect our pets and the community. Our Intake and Adoption Services will be temporarily closed, with the GBHS Adoption Center at 300 Snow Drive serving as the interim intake facility.

We want to inform the public about our procedures during this time and provide guidance on recognizing the signs and symptoms of Canine Pneumovirus. We are committed to keeping the community informed and will provide weekly updates on our status.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to keep our furry friends safe.

June is National Foster Month! Today we're sharing the story of Opie. (Trust us, you will want to read this one!)

Opie came to GBHS Animal Care and Control covered in sores as a result of being shot. You could see every bone in his body; his soon-to-be foster said, "The worst part was his eyes; they told a story of neglect, abuse, and defeat. Once I met him, I couldn’t leave without him."

Opie was nursed back to health by his foster, and it was decided that he should be sent to one of GBHS’s rescue partners.

Opie's foster kept in contact with Opie's new mom, and she soon shared this story, "During an afternoon walk, Opie suddenly started pulling toward the neighbor’s home. I tugged on his leash to redirect him since Opie doesn’t really like men. He’s more of a lady’s man. However, he wasn’t having it. Opie continued to pull until he was able to walk up the stairs to my neighbor sitting in a chair. He approached the man and laid his head on his lap. The neighbor’s demeanor went from complete silence to a more relaxed state, he was experiencing a PTSD event. Once the neighbor was ok, Opie lifted his head and turned to walk back down the front porch steps."

Opie is now a licensed PTSD companion, and he and his adopter make weekly visits to the VA Hospital in their city. Opie's foster added, "I hear people say that if they foster, they will want to keep every one of them. Had I adopted that emaciated, sad, buckshot-riddled dog, he would have never fulfilled his purpose to help others. We, as fosters, stand in the gap between what was and what is to come. We allow the animal to experience love, comfort, healing, and safety until their forever home is ready. It is not always easy, but it is worth it every time!"

June is National Foster Month, and we are sharing some of our amazing foster stories.

"I began fostering after my dog passed away. I missed having a pet around but wasn’t yet ready to adopt. Flower was found as a stray in late January 2019 by GBHS Animal Care & Control. When found, she had a broken leg, significant issues with her other leg, and was not spayed. She was about 8 years old. GBHS performed surgery on both her legs and spayed her. In between each surgery and while getting the strength back in her legs, she was with me for foster care. She was housebroken, but her health issues suggested she may not have been well cared for. She made me laugh with her quirks; in many ways, her personality reminded me of my dog, who passed away. In March 2020, almost a year later, she became a permanent family member! I have continued to foster, and Flower has been there for my other foster pets that have come in and out, and she is very loving, protective, and patient with her (human) baby sister. She loves sunbathing and snuggling under blankets."

June is National Foster Month! Today, we’re sharing the heartwarming story of Miss Roxy and her foster mom.

“My very first time fostering, I chose Miss Roxy, a 9-year-old boxer mix I saw at the shelter. She was the perfect dog for my first-time foster. She loved being loved on and loved being in my home. It took some time to get this sweet older pup adopted, but it couldn’t have worked out any better. Now she is living her best life, getting dressed up for birthdays and holidays and being pampered like the queen she is. Letting fosters go is both heartbreaking and incredibly rewarding. You get to see them blossom, change, and adapt in foster care. These dogs become part of the family, whether it’s for a couple of weeks or several months. It’s always a good feeling knowing they’ve met the right people to go to their forever homes with, and seeing them happy is the best part about it!”

If you've ever considered fostering, now is the perfect time to start. Open your heart and home to a pet in need and experience the incredible joy and fulfillment that comes with fostering. Join us this month and help make a difference in the lives of animals like Miss Roxy. Visit our website to learn more and sign up to be a foster parent today!

Temperatures are dropping! Though it may be sunny and feel like fall during the day ☀️🍂, temperatures are expected to drop significantly after dark for the next few days ❄️. Be sure to watch the weather, bring all pets inside, and provide proper outdoor shelter. Dog houses with straw are a great option, as hay works to keep our furry friends warm. Remember, if it's too cold for you, it's too cold for your pets too! We are also accepting donations for dog houses and cat boxes for pets in our community.

Today is #EmployeeAppreciationDay! While we love our staff EVERY DAY, today, we wanted to call special attention to everyone who makes it possible for GBHS to continue our mission of promoting the humane treatment of people and animals! Without their dedication, this would not be possible. THANK YOU! 💕

Roses are red, and Violet is BEAUTIFUL! Meet one of our #FURtasticFour, Violet. Violet was one of the 100+ pups rescued from the recent Nauvoo, AL hoarding case. As a result of years of neglect, she is blind in one eye and has limited mobility in her back legs, but thanks to community support and the care of her foster mom, Heather, she is receiving hydrotherapy at Sassy Swimmers Alabama Canine Swimming Hydrotherapy is a great way to strengthen her back legs and is slowly helping her relearn how to walk. Check out the video below of her first-ever water session, and see more Violet photos in our stories! Stay tuned for more updates on Violet and the rest of the #FURtasticFour!
