Is anyone available to drive some cats from Opelika to Atlanta on Wednesday August 7th to arrive at 1:30 pm ET? We need a driver, and our regular drivers are unable to help. Please let us know by commenting here. Here is a photo of one of the MANY kitties in animal control who need out!

This week we were able to help save 14 kitties from Lee County Animal Control, thanks to our rescue partners and to Susan DeAngelo who drove for us! Here are some of the kitties we moved this week (some are pictured twice). If you are able to donate to help us cover the cost of vaccines and health certificates, we would appreciate it!

We’ve been a little quiet lately, but we want to give an update and assure you all that we are still working hard to help the homeless animals in Lee county!

For whatever reason, within the last year or two it has been increasingly more difficult to place animals within rescue organizations. This is not only true for us, but for the animal welfare community as a whole. There have always been too many animals and not enough homes, and that seems to be more true now than ever before. While we have not been able to do weekly transports like we once did, we are still working hard to do as much as we can. So far since January, we have placed roughly 14 dogs and 17 cats with rescue partners. Enjoy a few of their pictures below and please continue to support us as we try to do all that we can, however much or little that may be.

These are just a few of the 7 puppies and 10 cats whose lives were saved yesterday thanks to two ladies who answered the call to help with the Halloween transport to Atlanta Humane Society!!!!!!!
Susan DeAngelo and Sherri Griswold, we cannot thank you enough for stepping up to take these babies to Atlanta. You guys are the best!

Hey, guys, we have a Halloween day transport to Atlanta Humane Society and we're SPOOKED about it because we need a driver! Arrival time is 11 am Central time Tues Oct 31. We'll be sending some cats/kittens, puppies, and 1 or 2 adult dogs. We have one driver lined up, but we really need 2 drivers with this many animals going. Can anyone help us out with this SCARY situation? Please message this page or email us at [email protected] if you can help!!

PSA: An artificial sweetener called xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs, and it's in gum (like Ice Breakers) and some candies, toothpaste, mouthwash, peanut butter, and other products that say "sugar free." It drops their blood sugar to practically nothing and trashes their liver. It doesn't hurt people or cats (that we know of). Keep these items locked away out of pup's reach!!!
P.S. Write this down. Yes you can call them if you need to. ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435

Our end of the month numbers are in, and we’re excited to share what we accomplished!! Twenty-six pups were transferred to rescue partners this month, all off to a better life 💖

06/05/2023

Today was a big day for 3 little dogs 🤩 They all found themselves sitting in animal control, unclaimed by their owners and with no where to go. We scooped them up and transferred them to two of our rescue partners, who will find them homes in no time!

04/05/2023

April is over and with that, another 17 lives were saved from animal control 😃 A huge thanks to all of our rescue partners who help make this happen!!

04/05/2023

We are SO EXCITED to share that our parvo pups officially made it and have been discharged from the vet!! And almost just as exciting is that all of your donations added up to almost the exact amount we needed to save them, down to the dollar! Their bill was a little over $1700 and without your financial support, we would have been in a dire situation trying to pay it. So, again, thank you!

Another exciting thing we have to announce is that we originally pulled the 3 brothers, alongside Woof Avenue, with plans to go back and get the two remaining siblings. Unfortunately, everyone got sick the day we picked them up. Then, the two we were planning to go back and get also broke with parvo so everything was placed on hold while everyone was treated. Sadly, the sister passed away but the remaining brother survived treatment and all 3 were reunited today 😍🥰

03/05/2023

It’s transport day!!!

There are so many moving parts to make this happen, but we are thankful to be able to do it. Today was a big day for 11 dogs and 12 cats 🐶🐈 Mama Spoon and her 5 puppies, Hotdog and her 3 babies, and one lone pup named Rocco got their big break alongside 12 kitties. These transports aren’t cheap, but they’re life saving so we appreciate any donations we receive that go toward sending them 💖

LCAC alum, Sherman, is headed south! Usually our dogs end up heading north but every now and then, they’ll go south and that’s exactly where Sherman is heading. He’ll be in Tampa shortly and we are so happy for him!

He was brought into animal control, skinny and with an eye injury. He completely transformed during the 8 days his foster mom, Leslie, had him! No more ribs showing and his eye is beginning to show signs of healing. Thank you, Leslie, for all that you did for him during his stay with you! And a huge thanks to Jennifer for helping us secure rescue for him.

We do this for dogs and puppies, like Sherman, who otherwise would not have had a chance at life. Safe travels and we hope you enjoy the sunshine state!! ☀️😎

Doc and Wyatt, our two parvo puppies, are still hanging in there. It has been a week of ups and downs, but they’re still showing us they want to fight. Two nights ago, we almost lost Doc but he has perked back up and we are feeling much better about how he’s feeling. 🤞🏼 Wyatt has remained stable all week, and we pray he doesn’t experience any of the same peaks and valleys that Doc has.

On behalf of Woof Avenue and FLCAC, thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Parvo is SO emotionally and financially draining, so to have your support means everything!

23/04/2023

This year has been especially brutal with parvo, and the summer hasn’t even hit 😭

We pulled 4 puppies, along with the help of Jonna at Woof Avenue, and decided we would work together to find them the best homes. They became sick the same day we got them and sadly, one of them passed away en route to the vet before he could even be given a chance. 💔Now his three brothers are fighting for their lives and we can only hope they don’t have the same outcome.

We can’t sugarcoat this—parvo treatment for 3 puppies will deplete the funds of a small rescue like ours. This is devastating emotionally and financially for both groups and we are coming to you, begging for support. You can donate directly to Woof Ave Rescue, by phone directly to FurBuds Veterinary, or to us at Friends of Lee County Animal Control.

Please pray these sweet boys are able to pull through and live the life they deserve

1️⃣6️⃣

That’s the number of dogs from animal control that we were able to help this month! A huge thanks to volunteers, fosters, rescue partners, and donors. We appreciate you and couldn’t do it without your help!!

27/03/2023

We had a busy day today that would not have happened without volunteer drivers and rescue partners!

Two adult dogs and 3 puppies are off to better lives as of this afternoon. The two huskies went straight to a rescue partner where they were immediately spoiled with a pupuccino! The three puppies are headed to a foster home where they will hang out for the week until they can leave for Pennsylvania on Friday.

Thank you Natalie, Mimi, Tiffany, and Susan for making this happen!! 🐾🐶 5 dogs are much happier today because of you guys!!

Happy Thursday! We’re gearing up and getting ready for another transport over here. Max, Rocky, Dora, and Dahlia are getting ready to head north this weekend. They are part of a litter of 8 that we split between two rescue groups — 8 is a lot to take on at once, so we are grateful we found two separate groups willing to help! Their siblings went to rescue two weeks ago, but we’ve been boarding these guys waiting for their transport north to happen. Transport costs alone are over $350, plus vaccines, deworming, the cost of boarding…you get the picture 🤪 It’s been another expensive endeavor but their cute faces make everything worth it. We will be saying “see ya later” to them on Saturday morning and are hoping to help raise some of the funds needed to make this whole thing happen. As always, thank you for your support…we rely strictly on donations so anything you can give, we appreciate!

Would any of our rescue partners be interested and able to help us with these puppies? Our local animal control is overflowing! They are available for rescue or adoption through Animal Health Center in Opelika

11/03/2023

Woof avenue is currently boarding 4 puppies for us and they go through food SO quickly! Is anyone willing to send a bag or two their way?

09/03/2023

It’s transport day!!!

We have 8 cats and 4 puppies heading to an out of state rescue partner today. They needed health certificates and vaccines to make this happen, so it was no inexpensive feat sending 12 animals. We are looking for $25 sponsorships per pet to try and help us cover some of the cost!
