Can you please help us with a donation to help this little guy?
Toto was found walking the median on I-20 West. Some
good samaritan took their life in their hands by pulling
over and getting him in their car. Toto is in need of
medical care. His vet bills are high, as he needed work
that included saving him from his heartworms. He is a
loving creature, despite his abandonment on our
Interstate. He needs this 2nd chance. If you would like
to give towards his medical bills, please click our Donate
button and specify "Toto" so he can get the help he
needs.

Many Pets May Loose Homes As households are caught in the economic downturn, over a million cats and dogs are at risk of becoming homeless. According to national financial estimates, approximately one in 171 homes in the U.S. is in danger of foreclosure due to the subprime mortgage crisis.
To avoid or ease the heartbreak of losing an animal companion due to economic hardship, think of alternatives ahead of time:
See if friends, family or neighbors can provide temporary foster care for pets until the household situation gets better. If moving into a rental property, get written permission in advance that pets are allowed. Contact rescue groups or your humane society well before moving. If a rescue agrees to take the pet, provide medical records, behavior information and anything else that might help the pet find a new home. See www.Spotsociety.org for rescue resources.
Everyone is being affected by the current economic crisis in some way. Community animal shelters and rescue groups are all seeing an increase in homeless pets, most are now full and are experiencing a decrease in the donations they rely on.
Please help in any way you can:
* Adopt a homeless pet. See our Available Animals Page, go to www.Petfinders.com , or visit your County's Animal Shelter at 1755 County Services Road, Douglasville. *Donate used blankets, towels, pet or cleaning supplies to the Douglas County Animal Shelter. (If you want to donate money, please be aware...Any cash that is donated to the Douglas County Animal Shelter goes to the Douglas County General Fund, for the county budget, NOT TO THE ANIMALS. Make sure if you want to donate cash or on this website, see the DONATE button, direct it to the Douglas County Humane Society and specify "what" you want your money to go towards.
i.e.; Help for Douglas County Shelter Animals, We will purchase needed items for the shelter and avoid your donation being lost to the County General Fund. Pet Pantry food purchases, Spay/Neuter for homeless animals or those where owners cannot afford spay/neuter...etc.
*Become a member of your Humane Society *Volunteer for...Pet Pantry, Flood Damage Repair (January, February), Car Show helpers (April)
