The Animal Shelter Needs Your Help!

This is the time of year that animal shelters nationwide have an abundance of homeless kittens and puppies.  The Yancey County Animal Shelter is no exception as they are now littered with litters.  Kittens are in abundance.  You may choose from calico kittens, black and white kittens, gray tabbys, yellow tabbys, Russian Blues, Siamese and even torti kittens.  The Animal Shelter needs your help to find loving homes for these very adoptable little ones.  A special offer is now in effect.  You may adopt two cats or kittens for one adoption fee.  $65.00 if you live in Yancey, Madison or Mitchell County and $75.00 if you live out of the area.  Call 682-9510 for details or visit the Animal Shelter at 962 Cane River School Road.
 

 A home is needed for a neutered male Lab mix, golden in color, approx. 2 years old and weighing 38 pounds.  His name is Captain and he has been at the Animal Shelter since October 2006.  Captain is a very adoptable dog - quite friendly but 8 months is a long time to spend at the Shelter. Visit him tomorrow at 962 Cane River School Road


Ahoy Mates!  Captain Needs a Home!

Ahoy mates!  My name is Captain.  You know, as in Captain and Tennille, the singing duo.  I'm a neutered male Lab mix, golden in color, approx. 2 years old and weighing 38 pounds.  I arrived at the Shelter last October with my friend Tenille.  We were nearly killed in traffic on East Main Street but, thankfully, we were rescued by a kind gentleman and brought to the Shelter.  Tenille has been adopted but I'm still at the Shelter and am considered a long-time resident - now 8 months!

A wonderful family did take me home but things didn't work out because they did not have a fenced yard and I must admit my lust to wander got the best of me.  That's not too hard to understand when you realize that Tenille and I were young pups, hanging out together, with no one to care about us and teach us our boundaries.  I did enjoy my new family and they had nothing but good things to say about me.  So, to make a long story short, if you have a fenced yard, I'm ready to be your forever friend.  Visit me tomorrow at 962 Cane River School Road.  I'll be waiting!
