Snicker and Goober are AVAILABLE for ADOPTION! These two boys were found as strays. They've probably had limited human interaction, but are slowly coming around and realizing that people are pretty neat!

They're around 3 months old, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and deworming, they've been treated for external parasites and will be microchipped and neutered upon adoption.

Their adoption fee is only$40!! We're here today until 5:00 ... come on down and save one of Burke County's unwanted!

For the record, we have only had TWO adoptions THIS YEAR!! TWO. We don't know what we would do without our rescue partners!

With numbers at animal shelters continuing to rise, a local animal shelter is working to ease the strain on its facilities.

THESE PUPPIES ARE NOT AT OUR SHELTER!

If you were interested in one of these puppies, they were pulled from the shelter by Canine Pawsabilities Rescue and they are accepting adoption applications for them!

THIS is why are rescue partners are so important to us!! Two partners working together, one to coordinate a receiving rescue and one to transport TWENTY-FIVE puppies and 2 adults to their bright futures in Indiana and Ohio.

We can't thank Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue and Project Freedom Ride enough for the huge effort it takes to make a transport like this happen!

SAFE TRAVELS to the drivers and their precious cargo!

FRED is available for adoption! He's a 3 year old, 24 pound beagle mix. He's a sweet boy who likes to talk to us with his "boo woo" hound voice in the mornings. Don't worry, he quiets down after breakfast and we don't hear anything else out of him all day.

His adoption fee is only $40 which includes vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and spay/neuter surgery upon adoption!

This little beagle guy was found last week on St. Clair Rd in Keysville. If he belongs to you, proof of ownership and payment of impound fees are required to reclaim.

We've been blessed with some amazing donations lately! We want to thank the Augusta Kennel Club and our amazing Burke County residents for thinking of the animals here at the shelter.

We're often asked why we allow Rescue Organizations to pull animals from the shelter versus us offering them for adoption. Well, for lots of reasons!

Our rescue partners are VITAL to our mission of getting animals out of the shelter and into great homes. Last year alone, our rescue partners pulled over 300 animals out of the shelter; animals who otherwise didn't stand much of a chance of adoption, animals who were here for months without any interest, puppies who literally spent their entire lives in a kennel, animals who had medical problems which require costly and lengthy care, nursing mamas and their litters and yes, highly adoptable, high profile animals as well.

Our rescue partners can give our animals a much higher chance of a better future that we, as a small municipal shelter, can give. They have the ability to house longer term which enables the pets to receive veterinary attention, be spayed/neutered and be well socialized. Our rescue partners require applications to adopt, potential homes are screened to ensure that the pet they want will be a good fit for the home. We get too many pets returned to the shelter when the "cute puppy" phase wears off or when, due to lack of training, the pet develops undesirable behaviors or when adopters move and the new residence doesn't allow pets. Adoption applications from rescues force people interested in adopting to really consider their situation and if they are ready for a long term, life-long commitment rather than a spur of the moment, impulse adoption at the shelter.

We do the best we can here at the shelter and we are proud of our facility and the work we do for Burke County, but our success is highly dependent on the rescue groups willing to step in at a moment's notice to take a feline leukemia positive cat into care, or to take a nursing mama and her 8 puppies into foster homes or take a neglect/abuse case and provide months of expensive rehab for that animal. The unwanted, unclaimed, abandoned and seized animals of Burke County are lucky that we have so many rescues willing and able to help.

PENDING RESCUE RIDE! HANSEL is all alone since his sister was adopted last week. He's an adorable shepherd mix, about 9 weeks old and 10 pounds. He's up to date on his vaccinations and deworming and flea control. His adoption fee is only $40 and we'll give him his own toy to take home with him!

Look how cute Cupid is! He's a super sweet guy that will make someone a GREAT companion! 🐾Cupid 🐾2 year old male 🐾American Bulldog Mix 🐾55 pounds $40 adoption fee!!

These are Lucy's puppies, Sally and Stacy! They're about 7 months old, adorably cute, crate trained, vaccinated and dewormed and looking for their furever homes! You could bring them home TODAY!

Lucy is looking for love! This 20 pound, Jack Russel mix is just looking for a cuddle buddy! She's vaccinated, house trained, dewormed and will be spayed and microchipped upon adoption. Come down today before 5:00 to take Lucy home!

ADOPTED!!

UPDATE: JONES WAS ADOPTED!!! JONES needs a Christmas Angel 😇 . He was found hit by a car in late October. After spending a few nights at BBurke County Animal Hospital where his injuries were tended to, he was transferred to our care. He has slowly been recovering from a suspected fractured pelvis and has become a shelter favorite. He's a typical hound and will get a little vocal when he thinks you should be paying him attention, but he's been a good boy for his time with us. He's vaccinated and dewormed and is doing very well with housebreaking. He's quite content to curl up on a cushy blanket and sleep. Unfortunately, we found out he's heartworm positive, which while relatively easy and inexpensive to treat, it is extremely difficult find people willing to take that on. So he has two medical strikes against him, which puts him at great risk here. Anyone able to be his Christmas Angel??

WHERE ARE OUR FLOYD FANS?? This is Floyd now ... he's sweet, loving, HOUSEBROKEN, good with other dogs, great with people, maybe needs supervision around cats until he knows they are off limits and HE NEEDS A HOME!!! Floyd is an almost 10 year old, OWNER SURRENDER, neutered male Pittie mix. He's about 70 pounds, but he's really not that big of a dog as many of those pounds are "insulation"! Floyd would LOVE to spend Thanksgiving in a home with a new family! ONLY $40 adoption fee. We're here today until 5:00 and tomorrow from 10:00-5:00.
