Adopt
Charlie
Adopting instead of shopping for your next best friend is one of the number one ways to end pet over-population. Pictured left is Charlie, a 7 year old Domestic Short Haired cat looking for his forever home. He is wonderful! Charlie is very laid back and loves to sit in laps and by the window. He grew up with a dog and does fine with other animals. He is looking to find his second chance soon, as he was returned to us after being in a home for 7 years. He is a little sad, but opens up quickly and becomes a true love bug.
As the Humane Society of Alamance County continues to grow, we can begin to help even more homeless babies like Charlie and other homeless animals like him. The more support we have, and the more people who choose adoption over purchasing, means more lives saved every year.

Foster
Fostering is an essential role in animal rescuing If you are not able to donate money, but you still want to help us save lives, you can volunteer your heart and home. If you have the time, care and shelter, we provide the food and vetting care. Fostering is important as it allows us to be able to rescue more animals. It also allows for the animals to be in a loving situation where they can be socialized with humans and other animals. Socialization can make a world of difference for a former shelter animal, and can start the healing process for these loving creatures.
If you are interested in learning more about fostering, please click here. You can fill out the interest form to be considered as a foster parent!

Volunteer
Volunteering is a vital and important part of any animal rescue organization. If you are not able to donate money, but you still want to help us save lives, you can volunteer your time. Maybe you're great at making posters- we can use you! Maybe you have a knack for talking to people about the value of adoption- we need you! Are you free to help us clean and love the kitties at our Petsmart Foster location- we would love to have you help out!
You see, donating is not simply about money. We are always looking for people willing to donate time at adoption events. We could use someone who would feel comfortable answering phone calls at our office. We would love to find a good photographer to help us take great pictures of our adoptable animals, because research shows that high-quality pictures improve adoption rates. We are always needing people willing to open their hearts and homes to animals in need.
There are so many ways to help- the important thing is that you do help- in your own way! If you have ideas, we would love to hear from you! To learn more about volunteering or fill out an interest form, click here.

- Please remember - It is getting WARM outside! If your pets must be outside, be sure to give them plenty of CLEAN water. Just like us, they have to stay hydrated. Make sure they have a shaded area to seek refuge in from the sweltering heat if they are outside. If you can, bring them in when it is extremely hot. Heat stroke is not biased and does affect animals as well!
- Remember that if it's too hot to leave a child in the car, it's too hot for your animals. Even with the windows down or cracked or parked in the shade, a car turns into an oven within minutes. Do not cook your animals. Each year, a staggering number of pet deaths occur due to leaving fur babies in cars during the hot months. It is a crime. If you see this happening, please call 911 to alert authorities. If you must take your pets with you while you run errands, take precautions and plan accordingly. Use drive-thru's, bring a friend who can entertain your dog outside of the car while you are in a store/business, shop at pet friendly stores.
- Fleas and Ticks are in peak season now. With the weather warm, it is even more vital to protect your pets with Flea and Tick prevention. Contact a vet today! We recommend Revolution, Frontline, Advantix and others of the sort. Some require a prescription. Remember that lower priced preventatives have caused life threatening reactions to animals, so please consult a vet before administering medications to your animals.
- Heart worm prevention is a must! Heart worms are horrible and transfer through mosquitoes from dog to dog. If your dog is outside there is a good chance a mosquito could bite your dog. Heart worms are spread from dog to dog (and can infect cats and humans as well) through mosquito bites. Using a heart worm preventative in conjunction with flea and tick preventatives will lower the risk of a heart worm infection. It is much cheaper to prevent than to treat for infections! Contact a vet for heart worm prevention for your fur baby!
