📣Owner Found!

This cat was just found at 300 west state street in Athens. He is very vocal and very friendly, possibly someone's pet. He is currently in our care and receiving veterinary attention. This sweet cat is a neutered male according to his veterinary team 😊

If you believe this is your cat please call or text 740-592-6047.

🐾 What a wonderful adoption event! 🐾

We were thrilled to see so many people come out to meet our puppies and kittens at Friendly Paws Pet Supplies & Grooming this past Sunday. Best of all, Trent (pictured) and Artie found their forever homes! ❤️

There is nothing better than seeing animals begin the next chapter of their lives with loving families, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who attended, supported the event, and helped make these adoptions possible.

Congratulations to Trent and Artie on their happy endings! 🏡🐶🐱💕

***REUNITED WITH OWNER 🥳

📣Please help us reunite Hunter with their owner!

📣 Adoption event today at Friendly Paws Pet Supplies & Grooming from 1-3p. With special guests! Some of these sweethearts will be joining us today!

Must have a pre-approved adoption application to adopt, but all are welcome to come say hi! 😊

This has been a tough season for us and for many of our fellow rescues and shelters. Across our community, organizations are operating beyond capacity while doing everything possible to help animals in need.

Like so many others, we wish we could say "yes" to every animal that comes to our attention. The reality is that limited space, funding, and resources make that increasingly difficult.

If you're able, please consider supporting your local animal shelters and rescues. Whether it's a monetary donation, supplies, fostering, volunteering, or simply sharing posts, every act of support helps save lives.

The smallest donation can make a world of difference.

Thank you for standing with local rescue organizations during this challenging time. ❤️

We're excited to announce that ACHS has received a grant from an anonymous donor through the Athens County Foundation! We're grateful to have our work supported with this show of trust. To see some of the ways your donations impact our work, check out this week's volunteer bulletin:
