You’ve heard us talk about petfinder.com.  They have a wonderful idea for the upcoming holidays… foster a shelter pet for the holidays.  But why wait till the hustle and bustle of the holidays?  The Beverly Animal Shelter has recently taken in (from a breeding facility) some sweet, purebred “producers” without papers, who are in need of special, one on one, tender loving care now that they have passed their prime.  We are also featuring two lovely ladies whose adoptions did not work out and once again, they are looking for their perfect forever home.

 

SARA & TULIP 

 

 

 

Two Schnauzer ladies weighing 20 to 25 pounds and estimated to be about 4 years old.  The Shelter is currently caring for their dental problems and will have them spayed before placement.  Quiet Sara with a poor quality “docking of the ears” is more outgoing.  Tulip with longer ears is a typical Schnauzer “talker”.  They are up to date on their vaccinations.  If not fostered together, another “balanced” dog in the household would be a good companion.

 

 

DELILAH & PETUNIA 

 

 

Thought to be 3 to 4 years old, smaller (approximately 20 pounds), cream colored Delilah and weighing approximately 25 pounds, buff/tan Petunia are two very frightened Cocker Spaniel girls.  They are two gentle dogs who need the peace and quiet consistency of a home.  Delilah and Petunia are up to date on their vaccinations and will be spayed before placement.  Again, placement together or with a “balanced” dog would be helpful.

 

 

ANNIE & LUCY  

 

 

 

Two ladies whose adoptions have fallen through.  Mostly white Annie is believed to be an Australian Shepherd mix.  Although Annie loves children, she does love to chase a cat or two as well.  She is estimated to be 4 to 5 years old and weighs around 40 pounds.  Annie is a lovable girl who misses the family atmosphere.  She is housebroken, spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.
Little Lucy is the perfect companion for an older person or couple.  A three year old, reddish brown Dachshund/Beagle mix with adorable, sultry brown eyes, Lucy weighs all of 27 pounds.  She is good with other animals and children.  Lucy’s favorite pastime?  Riding in cars!  And she just loves attention and being someone’s very special little girl.  Lucy is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.

 

LAST WEEK’S PETS  -  Cute Ruby from last has been adopted.  Black Jasmine and Ernie remain available.

 

 

SHELTER NEWS  - 
Jenna’s building construction is progressing.  Thanks go out to all the generous contributors, especially those of you who have purchased the doors and windows for the building! Each door and window will have a plaque, which will be purchased shortly, recognizing your generosity.  Only $15,000 more is needed to complete the building.  Are you aware that Dallyn plans to do Spay & Neuter Clinics on sight?   Let’s get the building finished and put to good use before Winter sets in!!!

 

 

Get your costumes ready!  The Annual Paws on Parade is coming!  It will be held at the Beverly Animal Shelter (weather permitting) on Sunday, November 1st, from Noon to 4:00PM.  Can’t find a costume for your furry friend?  Check with Cindy at the Store (Schultz’s that is).  She has many available!

 

 

Thanks go out to the generous supporters who continue to make the Beverly Animal Shelter viable.

 

 

The Beverly Animal Shelter is currently participating with the Auburn SPCA in the SOS - Shelter Outreach Service (aka Save Our Shelter from the overflow of unwanted animals) Discounted Spay and Neuter Clinics held in Auburn.  Those people adopting Puppies and/or Kittens from the Shelter will be required at adoption to make their deposit to participate in this clinic.  The NYS Spay/Neuter program is no longer available to residents in Seneca County.  The SOS clinic is also open to members of the community who have not adopted from the Shelter.  A reservation and deposit are required.  Please contact the Shelter at 539-9357 for more information.

 

 

The Shelter is (as it usually is) in need of laundry (detergent and bleach) and cleaning supplies.  Also needed are cat litter and paper towels, regular towels and blankets. 

 

 

We have taken in quite a few stray dogs in recent weeks.  Please, if you have lost your dog, do call the shelter.  Do not wait for an advertisement of “found dog” to appear.  UPDATE: The BAS online site will now have a list of 'found' pets.  If you are missing a pet, please check the site.

 

 

The Beverly Animal Shelter is now collecting your old cell phones.  When the Shelter sends the phones in, they receive a small donation in return.

 

 

BAS, in partnership with Seneca Humane Society, participates in the Purina Pets for Seniors program.  Purina provides a partial adoption-fee rebate to anyone 60 or older who adopts a pet.

 

 

Please be a responsible pet owner.  Spay and neuter your pets to prevent more unwanted animals.  ONLY YOU can prevent the overflow of kittens that begins each Spring and carries on into the Fall.
