LHS Spotlight
Check out our "LHS Spotlights" often to get the nitty-gritty on all our special featured events, stories, acknowledgments, pets and more!
Psst...It's Not Just Tuesday, It's Tabby Tuesday!
Considering adopting a cat? Stop by Liberty Humane society on Tuesday and adopt a cat (1 year or older) for $60! That’s half off the normal price. Adoption fee includes vaccinations, spay/neuter, deworming, a cardboard carrier and a FREE month of pet insurance. How could you say no?
Socializing Kittens - What Could Be More Fun?!
With kittens pouring in, it's time to get in here and socialize! Many of our kittens are found outside, they come to us in laundry baskets, cardboard boxes, and by the armful. Many of them have had little contact with people before arriving at LHS and naturally, are a bit overwhelmed by the sudden commotion surrounding them. Key to making them as adoptable as possible is socialization. Simply holding a kitten helps make him or her more comfortable and more secure with human interaction. This is a fun and easy volunteer job that directly impacts adoptability. In no time you'll see the scared, semi-feral kitten you met that first day turn into a confident, outgoing lovebug just begging to go home!
We need socializers every single day, so please stop by as soon as you can!
FEATURED PET - SNOWFLAKE!
Snowflake, approximately 2-1/2 years old and sweetly submissive , came in as an emaciated stray. Despite being at best neglected by her owner, Snowflake is very open-minded about the human race. She wiggles to her heart's delight when she sees someone she likes, which is must about anyone.
Now that the B.A.D. Dog volunteers have turned their attention to Snowflake, she is learning to curb enthusiasm when approached in her run, doing her best imitation of a white marble statue, (if statues could grin and wag their tails alike an egg beater, that is!) She has mastered "Sit" and is working on "With Me" to improve loose leash walking. (A "Gentle Leader" may speed things up a bit.)
If you are looking for an active member to join your family - someone who will jog or run next to you and gladly participate in touch football, Snowflake is the gal for you. All that she asks for in return is that she be your one and only pet.
