Merry Christmas to Everyone From the dogs, cats and staff at Almost Home Animal Shelter. 

Christmas is the time of year when visions of empty kennels and cat cages are dancing in our heads.  Our Christmas wish is for each and every dog and cat to have a home of their own for Christmas.  Every year our kennel and cat room is quiet by Christmas Day.  Not empty, but a greatly decreased number of dogs and cats.  Not this year.  This year we are still full.  We have had many adoptions, but new dogs and cats are coming in just as quickly as they go out. 

The staff does not get Christmas Eve or Christmas day off because the animals still need to be taken care of.  Everyone that works at the shelter comes in to get the job done and we try and leave by 1:00 so at least there is part of a holiday for everyone.  This year will be a longer day because we have so many animals.  We knew the animals were effected by the economy the last several years, but people were still adopting.  This year is very different.  People aren't calling to surrender their animals, they are just leaving them behind or dumping them in a neighborhood.  Dogs and cats are truly the silent victims or a bad economy. 

If you are thinking about adopting a new best friend, cat or dog, there is still time to bring them home before Christmas.  Please, please stop in soon.

Need last minute Christmas Gifts for pet loving friends or family?  We have dog and cat boutique items (brand new) at the shelter.  We have dog and cat collars and leashes, bowls, santa hats and antlers, dog picture frames and statues, cat scratching posts and trees, mugs, ornaments and much more.  Many breed specific items.  Every purchase helps support the animals at Almost Home.    

Merry Christmas and a  Safe, Healthy and Happy New Year to All!!! Tweet This
