Consider a senior pet

When most people think of adding a new dog to their family they immediately think puppy. This is really rather unfortunate because while puppies are fun they certainly don't fit everyone's lifestyle and there are many great older dogs out there who would be a great match for you. Consider a slightly older dog.. and if you can find it in your heart, consider a senior citizen. Most of the time they are great dogs who have been loyal pets and have lost their owners to old age and illness. Yes, your time with them may be shorter, but it will be absolutely worth it. My family adopted a senior cat (he was between 12 and 14 years at adoption) and had him for almost 4 wonderful years- the sadness of losing him was completely worth those wonderful 4 years.

Nubbins is a 10 year old Rat Terrier who lost her elderly owner. She comes with a crate, toys, and is housetrained. For only 5 dollars, Nubbins can be a part of your family.

No room at the inn....puppies thankful for holiday angel

Everyone says they love puppies, but when we are in dire need of a foster home for some, it seems like everyone's phone is off the hook! These babies were turned in at 3 weeks old- way too little to leave momma, and susceptible to any disease that might come through the shelter. They needed somewhere to go ASAP. Luckily in their hour of need a 'temporary' foster home stepped forward. So puppies and mom are safe and sound.. we will start taking applications and questions on December 20th and start sending them to their new homes in early January after they are spayed or neutered. We know they are cute, but for their own health and safety they can't have any visitors until after December 20th with an approved application. Yes, there are seven.. foster mom is a saint!

My Christmas wishes for my foster kittens

I have the privilege of playing foster home to a wonderful mother cat and her 6 adorable little Calico girls. They keep me and my roomate entertained and busy! We absolutely love the little ladies and their patient mother. As they are starting to 'make weight' and get ready to be spayed and go to their new homes, I have come up with a few Christmas wishes for my foster kittens. So Santa, listen up!

Dear Santa,
I want my foster kids to have forever homes that will love them and delight in their antics as my roomate and I have. I want them to have forever homes that will commit to them for their entire lives, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer and understand that new babies, allergies and moves aren't reasons to surrender a pet. I want my 'plain' little torbie kitten to be adopted just as quickly as her flashier sisters- color is just a paint job, and under her 'plain' coat she is a wonderful, sweet soul who wants to be loved. My heart is already breaking a little as I get inquiries on her all of her sisters and no interest in her.

I want someone to realize that their mother is so much more than a mama cat and is a wonderful individual herself who had her kittenhood taken away by early motherhood. (A wonderful individual who begs for table scraps and plays fetch with a toy mouse and makes us laugh every day!). Most of all, I want every single one of them to live long, healthy, happy lives with their new families.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas parade!

Tillie on the float with a volunteer

The Humane Society of Stillwater had a float tonight in Stillwater's Christmas parade. We brought seven of our adoptable dogs and some great volunteers! Our dogs loved the attention and everyone loved our dogs! What a fun night- thank you wonderful volunteers that made it possible! If you want to be involved in activities like this in the future, join our facebook group for announcements!

Aimee and Tillie share some Christmas love

Foster a pet for for the holidays!

No pet deserves to spend Christmas in the shelter! We are looking for people willing to open their homes and hearts to a lonely shelter pet for just a few days. We are closed the 24th and 25th, but you can pick up your animal of choice on the 23rd and return him or her on the 26th. If you wish to pick them up a few days earlier or return them a few days later, that can be arranged as well. Come to the shelter to make arrangements if you are interested in this program! There is no obligation for you to adopt the animal, we just want as many of our pets as possible to spend Christmas in a warm house with a family to love on them!
