INTRODUCING MARGE!!
When you come in to meet me, are you in for a treat. You see, I am a Rex rabbit and I have soft, plush fur....it feels nicer than cashmere! So when you pet me, you'll be amazed. Let me tell you a little more about me. I'm a one year old spayed female; I love to hop around and love to be petted. The reason I'm here at the Adoption Center is because the little girl in my former home became allergic to me. Now I'm ready for a new family to take me home and love me to bits. Come by the Adoption Center and visit with me!! P.S. I LOVE cuddling with guinea pigs!

Life is Precious fund
Many years ago, a three year old Labrador Retriever mix names Precious was brought to our center. Her family was having finanical difficulties and were unable to pay for Precious' medical care. Due to lack of funding Precious could not be treated for her medical issues and the staff was forced to make the difficult decision to humanely euthanize her. Like so many animals that come through our doors and our lives, Precious left her mark. In honor of her memory the Life is Precious Fund was created. The fund is designed to offset the cost of all medical care provided to homeless animals in need at the Adoption Center.
The Life is Precious Fund has helped many injured and sick homeless animals over the years. Only your generosity can help more animals in the years to come. Please help us keep Precious' memory alive by donating today. If you would like to make a donation please visit us at www.mspca.org/metrosouth

Become a volunteer!
<We are always looking for foster care families (or singles). Our foster moms and dads give animals in need a quiet place in their home to grow, or mend. It takes a spare room, a little time, and a lot of heart. If you are interested please contact jmcfadden@mspca.org, or stop by the shelter and fill out an application!!
Don't forget our monthly Bake sale on the second Saturday and Sunday of each month!
In addition to providing direct animal care, our shelter serves as a community resource, offering various educational workshops, such as a full range of obedience training from puppy socialization to good manners classes. We are here as a resource to heighten the awareness of issues relating to animals in the community. We also offer several programs that are aimed at preventing animals from being surrendered over to the adoption center and keeping the family intact.
Please feel free to stop by and visit with the animals or browse our pet supply shop which carries not only some basic pet necessities, buy some fun novelty items as well! You can also visit the MSPCA Metro South's main web site at www.mspca.org/metrosouth
Adopting a Friend
Before you adopt an animal, the following steps should be met to ensure that you and the animal are a good fit: Spend some time with the pet(s) that you are interested in. Making a good match is very important.
All members of the household should meet the prospective new family member (this includes your current dog, if you are looking to add a new dog). We also need to verify that your current pets are up to date on their vaccinces.
Complete an adoption application and discuss it with an adoption counselor. We estimate that the entire process takes about 45 minutes, so please allow yourself plenty of time.
If you are a homeowner, show proof of ownership (mortgage bill or tax bill)
If you rent, have your landlord's consent to bring an animal onto his/her property. We verify landlords' pet policies before sending a new pet home, so please have the appropriate info available.
Be certain that you are financially able to provide for the animal's needs. This includes food, supplies, license, and veterinary care.
Be certain that you have adequate time to spend with your new pet. This includes training, exercising, grooming, and loving.
Please understand that in order to give our animals the best possible chance for a good home, no animal may be placed on hold. You will need to complete the adoption process before any animal can be guaranteed to you.

Cats: spay/neuter surgery, distemper and rabies vaccinations, an FELV/FIV test, deworming treatment, flea treatment, a permanent microchip, and a collar and tag.
