To help everyone get a start on your Christmas shopping come check out our Tails End Thrift Store (co-located at the shelter) THIS Thursday, 1 December for our Christmas Open House. The Thrift Store and the Shelter will stay open until 8 pm this Thursday so please stop by to shop or just to visit – we have decorated to get us all in the spirit of Christmas and will have refreshments from 5 – 8 pm!
Our Thrift Store has clothes, linens, Christmas decorations, furniture, books, collectibles, small appliances, toys and so much more! Remember the Thrift Store’s regular hours for shopping are Thu, Fri & Sat’s from 9-3 and is open to receive donations those same three-days from 9-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.
Tuesday, 29 November, has been designated as “Giving Tuesday.” If you would like to donate to our shelter on Giving Tuesday (or any other day) you can donate via Credit Card or PayPal on our website (www.elmorehumane.org) or our Facebook, or you can call us at the shelter (334-567-3377) and 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 and 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 would be most welcome.
Want a personalized gift for a fellow pet lover, or yourself? We are also able to make custom engraved pet ID 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 Sat and we will be thrilled to make tags for many uses!
