Mercer County Animal Shelter is in desperate need of hard and soft dog food and soft cat food. All donations are appreciated.
The shelter is bursting at the seams with dogs. We need foster homes. Here are some benefits of having dogs in a foster home:
Saving a dog’s life and helping local shelters.
Preparing a dog for their forever home and increasing their chances of getting adopted.
Seeing a dog’s true personality and watching them grow and blossom.
Learning a lot about yourself and the dogs from fostering.
Enjoying the joy and pleasure of helping a pet in need.
Connecting with your community and other foster parents.
Offering a temporary companion for your own pets.
Contact us about fostering.
Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.

Notes: Cleo, Pittie mix, around 5-8 years. She is about 50ish lbs. NO cats, NO small dogs, selective with bigger dogs, prefer another senior. Must do meet and greet with bigger dog. She walks great on a leash, and can walk for miles! Cleo cannot be around cats. She is dog friendly, but is dog selective, so a meet and greet would be great. Cleo has been tested with a 9 year old kid, but I would do best with kids above the age of 8. Cleo is fully house trained.
