Stevie

  Stevie My name is Stevie. I'm an all white, completely blind and partially deaf but one of the nicest cats you will ever meet. What a trooper he is to have such a great disposition with all of his challenges. He needs a special home that has time for him and as much love to give him as he as to give back! Stevie is in need of a permanent home. Call 724-222-7387 for more information about me, or better yet, come down to the shelter any day and pay me a visit!
   
 

Pets for U.S. Vets Adoption Story

  Hudson and Bill Garrett Bill Garrett, U.S. Air Force Veteran, wasn't planning on adopting another dog. But "Hudson", a little Shih-Tzu at the Washington Area Humane Society, had different ideas.

84 Fitness Center held it's 2nd Annual "Furry Fall Festival" on October 8th this year. It is a social event for dogs and their people and is held at the 84 ball fields. The goal is to raise money for the Veterans Fund set up by 84 Fitness at the WAHS. The program raises awareness of the plight of the shelter animal and also brings attention to our local veterans who have and continue to keep us safe. Because of this program, local veterans no longer have to pay adoption fees when adopting a dog or cat from the shelter.

Bill and his fellow Legion Riders from the Claysville American Legion Post 639, gave a Patriotic Presentation both years in a row while the Washington Festival Chorale sang our National Anthem at the DogParty. Hudson was brought to the party with many other dogs from the shelter to hopefully find a forever home. Both Bill and his wife Linda fell in love with Hudson immediately. A perfect match was made that day and Hudson is living the dream.

This program benefits our veterans who have kept us safe and the shelter animals who are waiting. Please check out our dogblog at dogparty84.blogspot.com for more information or call the WAHS at 724-222-PETS.

Rose

  Rose Rose the Cat has just been to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center dermatology evaluation for her skin. Rose is very thick from chronic skin issues and her fur is thin or missing completely in some parts of her body. She has been like this since we removed her from a home along with 9 other cats in October 2009. She was adopted and returned in that time due to her skin condition. Rose is only 4 years old. Please help with Roses vet care by donating today. We will be needed a loving foster family for Rose soon, if interested, please contact the shelter.

I will keep you posted as her cares continues.

UPDATE 12/9/11: She is doing very well, she is receiving special baths and also is on a special diet. She is still looking for a forever home.

UPDATE 1/3/12: She went back to the doctors and is getting better daily.
