     Abandon – this word is one we know far too much about at our shelter.  Our dogs and cats are domesticated animals that are no longer truly capable of ‘living off the land’ no matter what some may think.  They depend on us for their care and well-being which is why abandoning a dog or cat is not only morally wrong, but punishable as a Class A Misdemeanor as Cruelty to Animals under the Alabama Code Section 13A-11-240(b).  This  code states: “the word "cruel" as used in this article shall mean: Every act, omission, or neglect, including abandonment, where unnecessary or unjustifiable pain or suffering, including abandonment, is caused or where unnecessary pain or suffering is allowed to continue.”

Pet of the Week - Joker

 

Joker is an eleven-month old Boxer/Lab mix boy, about 75 lbs, very active, happy and playful.  He is housetrained and knows some basic commands in German!  He may be a bit too much dog for small children, but loves everyone and is excellent with his female kennel mate!  Joker is a very handsome boy indeed!

       Lucy is a Chocolate Lab/Bulldog mix, about a year old, 70’ish lbs and just a very sweet gal. She loves children, is great in public, good with other dogs and does like to chew things so you might need a lot of rawhides on hand until she matures just a bit more.

     Bonnie Crest Country Club in Montgomery was the place to be Saturday night!  Thanks to a huge crowd of supporters our ‘Getting Down with the Dawgs’ Draw Down brought in over $10,000 to help our animals!  And in the end, six very happy attendees split the $10,000 grand prize and many more went home with some awesome gift baskets and two different donated hotel packages to help us do even more for our animals.
