I am crossposting this. This group has saved so many lives. Please consider making a donation. SHELBY COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY                 WHERE LOVE IS A FOUR LEGGED WORD We want to thank you for helping to support the Shelby County Humane Society. We do not receive any outside funding and survive only on donations from wonderful people like you!  We would like you to meet just a tiny portion of the animals that you have helped so far this year. Meet Jasper   This little cutie was only a few days old when he was turned into an animal control facility. Donations provided Jasper with puppy milk, vaccines, worm medicine, flea treatment, neuter, and micro chip so that Jasper can now find his new forever home. Every dollar donated goes towards antibiotics, vaccines, food, medical care, and daily support of these and many more homeless animals. Meet Blessing  Blessing was found injured and in pain, but the people that found her could get no help. Many people began searching for somebody to help this baby and when we got the call we agreed to immediately take her. Her front leg was broken and she had torn ligaments and tendons in one back leg. Your donations provided her with x-rays, pain medications, antibiotics, vaccines, a warm safe place to heal, spay, flea treatment, worming, and micro chip. This is Blessing today ready for her new forever home  Every morsel of food, every bag of cat litter,  every gallon of bleach, every ounce of laundry soap and all cleaning supplies that are donated are used and so much appreciated! Meet Twist   Twist is a five week old Beagle baby that has deformed front legs. This baby boy has the hope of a good future but is going to require lots of rehab and surgery when he gets a little older. He is such a sweet and happy little boy and with your support we won't give up on him! We are "NO KILL" and every animal in our program is loved, cared for and supported for the remainder of their natural life. Meet a special litter of kittens   Three of the five babies had umbilical cords wrapped so tightly around one of their back legs that it caused amputation. They were only a couple of days old when they came to us and were in need of immediate care.  They have been with us for a week are doing fantastic!  They are responding well to antibiotics, eating like crazy, and starting to walk. We will have to wait until they are a little bigger to see if surgery is going to be required but we expect them to have a very good future. Like every one else, the economic crisis has hit us very very hard. We are struggling just to provide the basic daily needs for our animals. It is with a broken heart that we are turning more and more needy animals away from our door because we can not financially support them. Meet a couple of our happy, healthy, adoptable kids! Quincy  Quincy is a 12 week old long haired chihuahua that was rescued from life in a rabbit cage outside in the pouring rain. He's ready for his new forever home! June Bug  June Bug survived a house fire and has lived at the Kitty Cottage for three years while she waits for adoption.   Belle, like so many bunnies, was an Easter present with no forethought to how much care and love that she would require. She is waiting for her new loving home. This is who we are and this is what we do but we can't do it with out YOU! Many of you are not able to do the daily work but you are still vitally important to our survival. You may not see every face, hear every whimper, or help clean the wounds but you are just as important as those of us who do. Shelby County Humane Society is not made up of a few people, it is every single supporter and donor. You are SCHS and all of these animals owe their lives to each of you. Thank you so much for everything that you do and can continue to do in the future. We are all needed now, more than ever.
