Humane Society of Elmore County News
After the hectic pace of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday & Cyber Monday, this coming Tuesday, 30 November, has been designated as “Giving Tuesday.” If you would like to donate to our shelter on Giving Tuesday but aren’t in the area to stop by since it is a workday, you can donate via Credit Card or PayPal on our website
or our Facebook, or you can call us at the shelter (334-567-3377). We can take a credit card donation over the phone (MC, VISA, AMEX, Discover); or you can send a check to us at HSEC, 255 Central Plank Road, Wetumpka, AL 36092. We also have an Endowment Fund with the Central Alabama Community Foundation if you are interested in donating to that for our long-term future!
While we hope and encourage everyone to shop locally, if you are on-line shopping and shop via www.Smile.Amazon.com
you can choose our Shelter to support with a small percentage donation from all of your shopping. We have also had a Wish List on Amazon but recently found we have to rebuild it for some reason, so will get that taken care of this week. But of course any donations of pet food, cleaning supplies and the like can be shipped straight to us and are most appreciated.
Another site popular with pet lovers is www.chewy.com
and we also have a Wish List of items there so you can go to and order for our pets. The link to search for us is at the bottom of their home page, “Donate to a Rescue.” Right now donations of Pedigree Dry Dog or Puppy Food are our biggest need.
As you are doing your Christmas shopping don’t forget to check out our Tails End Thrift Store (co-located at the shelter) for gifts for yourself and your friends! Our Thrift Store has clothes, linens, Christmas decorations, books, collectibles, small appliances, toys and so much more! The store is open for shopping Thu, Fri & Sat from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to receive donations those same three-days from 9 a.m. to Noon. While at our Thrift Store please thank our Volunteers who work so hard receiving, sorting and selling all of the donated items on behalf of all the animals we all work so hard to help.
Want a personalized gift for a fellow pet lover or yourself? We are also able to make custom engraved pet ID tags (as well as luggage tags and military style dog tags) in our shelter office and what better gift for any pet lover than a way to help protect their special pet! It only takes us a few minutes to make a tag and we have a wide variety of tag sizes, colors and shapes to choose from to include Auburn and Alabama tags!
We even have medical alert tags for those pets that might be on medications or have special needs. For a measly $10 your pet can gain invaluable protection in the event they become lost. And – hint, hint, tags can be used for lots of things – luggage, pet crate ID, school book bags, even cool jewelry perhaps! Stop by the shelter during our normal business hours of Mon thru Saturday and we will be thrilled to make tags for many uses!
