Pet of the Week – Baby Girl

Baby Girl is a female Pit/Terrier mix, five-months-old and about 35 lbs so should be in the 50 lb range when fully grown. She has grown up with dogs of all sizes and gets along with everyone. Loves her toys, craves attention and is a very loving girl also happy to play and then spend some chill time with her person. Let’s find that forever family for her so Thanksgiving week can be HER special week for the rest of her life.

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 Baby Girl 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.

Humane Society of Elmore County News – 25 Nov ‘24

It is Thanksgiving Week and a wonderful week to spend time with family and friends enjoying great food and giving thanks. While we have many we want to thank, please send a mindful thanks to our small and dedicated staff who are there 365 days/year caring for the 3410 pets that have come to us so far this year. Please also thank our Volunteer Board Members who give tirelessly of themselves to ensure the present and future of our Shelter. We are also most thankful for the core group of Volunteers who make our Tail’s End Thrift Store such a success and our intrepid group of Dog Exercisers who ensure the mental & physical health of our dogs by giving them one on one time out of their kennels. We also want to thank all the Animal Control Officers we see often as they work to protect the public & help animals in need.

We could not see to the well-being of our Shelter pets without the help of Veterinarians and their staffs who see our pets post-adoption, help keep pets healthy and pet owners educated, and treat the injured and sick pets that so desperately need their help.

Our foster families open their hearts and homes to help us save even more lives, which is a true labor of love for which we are incredibly grateful.

As a non-profit we are incredibly grateful to our donors and supporters as it takes money, food, supplies and Thrift Store donations to keep our doors open and care for 250-300 animals on any given day. We recently put out a plea for dry dog food and our supporters came through in a huge way. Big shout out as well to the Montgomery Humane Society who also delivered a huge load of dog food to help us out of the danger zone – it was immensely appreciated. To all individuals, businesses, and civic groups who help us through donations, sponsorships & event support and we truly appreciate how your efforts help us be the best Shelter we can be as we all work together to save lives.

Special thanks to our Adopters for giving our Shelter pets their 2nd (or 3rd or 4th, or…) chance at new & better lives. We are indebted to the public who supports our mission directly and indirectly – your moral support for the welfare of animals is important to all of us in the sheltering community. For those we may never meet but who love and care for your pets, keep them safe at home, make sure they are a part of your family and cherish them, you have our utmost thanks as you are the homes we strive for every day as we do adoptions.

Our final and most heartfelt thanks go to all the wonderful animals that ask so little of us but give so much in return. Our pets enhance our human lives in so many ways and we are grateful for the selfless love, joy and companionship they bring to our homes and families.

We hope everyone has a family filled Thanksgiving and so that our staff can also enjoy some time with family, the shelter will be closed Thu & Fri, 28 & 29 Nov, but will be back open on Sat, 30 Nov. Or Tail’s End Thrift Store, however, will be open for Black Friday sales so stop by for great deals throughout the store.

We hope everyone has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

If you are bringing a dog to the shelter, please do not open your car and let the dog jump out in the parking lot. Please come inside to do the paperwork first, and if you need a leash we will provide one. If the dog does not do leashes well, we will have you drive or back up to the gate and we will get the dog out.

If at all possible, please have cats in a secure container. If you trap a cat, feral or not, just leave it in the trap and we can get it out of the trap safely. If you do not have a crate, please come inside to get one.

If you are bitten by the dog or cat that you are bringing to us, we cannot to take it in under the Alabama Rabies Laws which is why following these guidelines are so important.
