Humane Society of Elmore County News - 26 Jan '25

Since we are not yet at the end of January, we want to wrap up the first month of the year, with these New Year Resolutions for Pet Owners and ask that you share these with those who might need a reminder of what we owe to our pets.

1. Keep identification on your pet! A collar, current rabies tag & a personalized identification with a good phone number will get your lost pet back to you. Get your pet microchipped by your veterinarian as it is the perfect back-up to tags. Have photos of your pet just in case.

2. Keep your pet safely contained at home. Fences not only make ‘good neighbors’ but keep your pets safe from cars, guns, getting lost and so much more. Keep cats indoors if at all possible.

3. Take your pet to the vet at least once per year to keep vaccinations current, get your heartworm prevention renewed and have your pet get a general check-up.

4. Spay and neuter your pet. There are just so many health & behavior benefits for both female and male pets besides how much this will help reduce the overpopulation that results in far too many homeless pets.

5. Feed your dog the best quality food you can and don’t overdue the treats. Tubby pets can develop many health problems and shorten their lives. Treats do not equal love.

6. Take care of your pet’s coat, teeth and nails. Dirty or matted coats cannot effectively protect your pet from the elements, may hide health problems, and are uncomfortable for your pet. Long nails can be painful and can eventually cripple your pet. Bad breath may be because of tooth decay or gum disease and should be checked out by your veterinarian.

7. Keep your yard and litter box clean. Cats have less litter box problems when the box is cleaned regularly to remove waste and picking up f***s in the yard frequently can help reduce smell, flies and parasites.

8. Pet proof your home and property. Keep poisons of all kinds out of pet reach, watch out for poisonous plants indoors and outside, keep electrical cords out of reach, don't leave out strings or ribbons for a cat to swallow and make sure there is no antifreeze leaking from older vehicles.

9. Learn about your pet and its breed traits so you can better understand what motivates your pet. Do homework on a breed or pet BEFORE bringing a new one home.

10. Spend time interacting with your pet. Our pets are social animals that thrive on human attention. Teach your pet manners so it is pleasant for others to be around. Our pets love us unconditionally; love them back with all your heart and take care of them the best you can!

Pet of the Week – Bentley

Bentley is a three-year-old male possibly Retriever type mix, about 70 lbs. Handsome fella, nice as can be, big goofball and can be a lot of dog at first but does settle down with exercise. Good with female dogs, have not yet checked with male dogs. Found as a stray never reclaimed.

Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs & $50 for cats under one-year-old; cats over one-year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination if old enough, free health exam with your participating veterinarian.

If you are interested in meeting Bentley or any of our pets, our first step is our Adoption Application you can do here: https://elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html . Once approved, we will coordinate with you to set up an appointment to meet & adopt.

We are located at 255 Central Plank Road, Wetumpka, AL, 36092, our phone number is 334-567-3377 and our website is www.elmorehumane.org for more information.
