Dear Animal Lovers,
Today was one of the most satisfying adoptathons that we have done in my two decades of participating in them! Of the 5 dogs that we took to the Super Adoptathon at Petsmart in Chesapeake only one returned with us; of 8 cats, 3 returned to the shelter. What was especially heart-warming was that Steve, our wonderful very intelligent Border Collie mix who had been with us twice during the past year, went to a caring home with a young man, who just fell in love with him, and his father. On their several fenced acres they have another Border Collie who was getting bored and needed a playmate.
One of our cats, who was 12 years old and had been received at our shelter as an owner surrender from a lady who thought that she could no longer care for the cat, was in one of the cages at Petsmart. Her age would make her extremely difficult to place, and hard on her to go to a new home at this stage in life. Recently one of the owner's relatives saw the cat at Petsmart and left her name and phone number with the director of Cat Rescue. We called the lady and she quickly came and adopted the cat. When I opened the cage, the cat immediately hugged the lady and began to purr loudly! What a great reunion!
Three years ago the Sturgeon family adopted an emaciated newly arrived St. Bernard from our shelter. Today they brought Sampson to visit. He has gained 80+ Lbs. and is the handsome gentle giant that he was meant to be. Seeing him in good health and bringing such joy to his family was a joy. He thinks that he's a lap dog and he loves to play with their two little boys.
Many thanks to our dedicated volunteers who helped with this: Jean Estus, Shirley Wilson, Norma Scanlon, Irina Bartee, Aaron Bergeron, Delaine and Caroline Spruill, Barbara Eggleston, and our Canine Care Specialist Kyle Stoltz.
Adoptathons take a real team effort by our staff to get our animals and paperwork ready for the event. They do a terrific job and we greatly appreciate all of their extra efforts!

You Can Help the Animals in Currituck County, NC
We Depend On Our Community!
The Animal Lovers Assistance League is a volunteer organization that depends upon the support of the community to help us operate the Currituck County Animal Shelter.
Without the help of citizens, civic-minded business leaders and the support of the community we serve, we could not perform the services we deliver to the people and animals of Currituck County.
There are many ways that you can help.
We can always use donations of pet supplies (pet food, cat litter, etc.), animal caregivers as well as financial support and building materials or tradesmen to help us improve our shelter.
