Our
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to preserve the lives and well being of animals through adoption, rescue, spaying and neutering, and education. We serve the citizens of Walker and the surrounding counties, and we strive to protect the health, safety, and welfare of animals, children and citizens who reside in these communities.
Pet of the Week:
Yep, you're right - I'm not a dog, I'm not a cat...I'm not a pig either and I'm not from Guinea, yet I'm called a Guinea Pig...go figure. We're actually originally from the Andes region in South America (for more info. about me and how to take care of me, go to Wikipedia.com/Guinea Pigs).
As with many of us four-legged world travelers, my family ended up in America and decided to stay, in my case in Texas. To make a long story short, I, Neapolitana (like the three-colored ice cream), a two year old tricolored female Guinea Pig, am at the Rita B. Huff Animal Shelter looking for a good home! I love to sit on your lap and purr like a cat and when I hear my food container I whistle!!
I'm really easy to take care of - just clean my cage daily and give me fresh food and water and TADA...you're done! Come and check me out at the shelter located at 530 Bearkat Blvd. in Huntsville across from Bowers Stadium, open on Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri. from 11am - 4pm, Thur. from 11am - 5pm and Sat. from 11am - 3pm. You can also call them at (936) 295-4666. By the way, the shelter is collecting items for their annual garage sale that is taking place on Labor Day Weekend.
This would be a great time to clean out your closets and garages for a good cause! Call the number above for pick-up or drop-off arrangements. They will take anything except computers and televisions, please. On behalf of us (the animals) and them (the humans): THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! (and don't forget to come see me!)
