Pet of the Month
"Russell"


My name is Russell and I am totally baffled. I have been here since January and how could anyone pass up such an incredibly handsome and friendly boy such as myself? I am outgoing, social, get along with other cats and is just - well - awesome!! I am already neutered too so you don't have to worry about setting up a surgery appointment. So what are you waiting for people? Get on in here today and adopt yourself a new best friend for life!!

Our awful past is behind us ...
 

now we all need new homes!!!

Hey there – or should we say Hay there.  First, we want to thank all of our saviors here at the shelter.  They truly saved our lives on November 16, 2011 and it’s a day we’ll never forget.  Sadly, some of our barn mates didn’t make it through our terrible ordeal at the hand of our previous caretaker. For those of us who survived, it’s been a true blessing.  From squalor to a beautiful barn.  From abuse to gentle love and tender care. 

In the beginning it was difficult to trust our new caregivers.  We soon learned that these humans were different and as our trust grew so did our mutual love and respect.  We were just babies when we came to the shelter but now we are yearlings and growing stronger every day.  Our awful past is behind us now and is just a vague memory.  We gallop and play in the pasture with our friends and have become the beautiful creatures God intended us to be. 

Our friends at the shelter have taught us to appreciate good food, daily grooming and how to mind our manners.  Each of us is gifted with our own personality and genuine good looks.  As much as we love all of our friends here at the shelter, we long for a forever home with abundant fields and plenty of room to run.  After all, we’re just kids at heart.  Please come visit us.  Who knows – your life might be changed forever just like ours!

We thank you for your interest in our adoptable pets. When you adopt a pet from the ACSPCA, you are giving an animal a second chance at life and we hope you will encourage other people to consider adopting from their local animal shelter. Please take a look at some of the wonderful animals we have for adoption. More come in every day, so please stop by and visit.
