Calhoun County Humane Society
What are Mobile Adoptions and "Why?"
Even though the new animal shelter is
finished, we will continue to go out to the
public with our animals and bring the
adoption process to you. You can find us at at
Wal-Mart on Highway 35 the 3rd Saturday of
each month, at Petsmart in Victoria on the 1st
Saturday of each month with our dogs and at
as many community functions such as
Crabfest, art and craft festivals, etc. as we
can.
Come meet us and your future pet!
SASHA has a
new home and
she and her new
family were a
perfect match!
The Calhoun County Humane Society is a Texas
Non-Profit Corporation. In January of 2006 we received our
501(c)3 tax exempt status.  We organized and established
this all-volunteer group to enable more adoptions of dogs
and cats from our local animal shelter through our
intervention. Many animals are euthanized each year. In
some cases this is unavoidable due to their illness or
behavioral problems. But many wonderful pets are
abandoned and end up at the shelter, pets that have so
much to offer and that have no chance without a great deal
of effort by caring humans.  Working with animal control,
we make available to the public dogs and cats that will be
wonderful companion animals and that have been tested,
vaccinated and spayed/neutered.
The adoption fee for
cats is $75; the adoption fee for dogs is $85.
 All testing,
vaccinating and spaying or neutering  is included in this
cost - a bargain and a good deed, all in one.!
When an animal is rescued from animal control, it is
held at the new animal shelter or in a foster home
environment.  Most of us are already fostering animals
and more foster homes will always be needed.
 The
number of pets we can save is now dependent not only
on the number of foster homes we can find but also on
how many volunteers we have to man the shelter for
adoptions.
 If you would like to become a foster parent or
know of someone who would or would like to volunteer
at the shelter,  please contact us by calling and leaving a
message at 361-553-8916 or e-mail us at:

such as Crabfest or our regular

3rd Saturday of every month, we
"have animals, will travel" so
come and meet us and learn
more about the Calhoun County
Humane Society.
ABOUT OUR SOCIETY
A PLEA FOR HELP!!!

We are told, over and over, by so many
people, “You are doing such good work.
We are thankful you exist.” Well, we
want US to become YOU,  as well, so that
we can continue this work.  If you can
become a hands on volunteer you will –
guaranteed – never feel more
appreciated by four legged critters! The
joy and excitement of the dogs as you
approach their kennel to let them out and
walk them, the eagerness of the cats to
dig into their newly clean litter box first
before even eating is a great “upper”
each and every time.”

What can YOU do? If you love animals
and want to help at the shelter you can
[1] Come visit and spend the day learning
what it involves. You can then pair with
another volunteer until you feel
comfortable doing it on your own.
 [2]  
You would like to help but are afraid if
you spent time around the animals, you’d
want to adopt every animal there? Then
man the phone, work in the office talking
to drop ins, do laundry so the volunteer
can clean without having to watch the
door constantly, ferry animals to the vet
for tests and shots.
[3]  You have only an
hour or two several times a week? Come
by and walk some of the dogs. They need
to learn to walk on leashes, to obey
commands so they are more readily
adoptable and this is something you
would love doing – and, oh the love and
affection you get back in return!
[4] Dogs
go to Petsmart the first Saturday of
every month and Wal-Mart the third
Saturday for mobile adoption. Come in
and bathe them so they look and feel
good.  Volunteers are also needed at
these adoption events to walk the dogs
and greet the public.

WE NEED YOU!
OUR ANIMALS NEED YOU!
PLEASE???
Won't you
PLEASE
take us out
from
behind
these bars
and into
your heart
and home?
