AT THE BENT TREE ANIMAL SHELTER
COME MEET THE TABBIES!

These 5 beautiful, affectionate, playful little ones need homes. They are all spayed/neutered, microchipped & up to date on all their shots. Each one has a different personality, you will find your furry soulmate or maybe 2. We know 2 kittens are great together, twice the love, twice the fun & they always have a playmate. Please stop by the shelter to meet them. We cannot take in anymore deserving cats & kittens as we are at full capacity. We badly need good people to adopt these fur babies. If you do, you will be helping 2 cats - the one you adopt & the one we are then able to help.
Our cats must be indoor only.

To set up a meeting at your convenience, please contact Luann Chambers 678-414-1047

Attention Bent Tree Residents:
When the Call Comes, They’re Ready - When an emergency happens in Bent Tree, we count on our firefighters and emergency personnel to answer the call. Now, we have an opportunity to give them the equipment they need to better protect our community—and themselves.
Help Equip Those Who Protect Us - Through its Community Enhancement mission, the Bent Tree Foundation supports projects that make our community safer and improve the quality of life for our residents.
Two critical needs have been identified:
FIRE DEPARTMENT — $12,000
The department needs 1,500 feet of 3-inch supply hose to replace the current 2½-inch hose on both fire trucks. The larger hose will provide greater water flow and improve firefighting capability and firefighter safety.
SAFETY & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT — $7,000
Specialized rope rescue equipment and a Sked stretcher will help responders safely reach and transport patients in Bent Tree’s steep, wooded and challenging terrain.
Make a Difference Today!
The Foundation has established a Lifesaving Equipment Fund to help purchase this essential equipment.
Donate by check payable to Bent Tree Foundation, with “Lifesaving Equipment Fund” on the memo line. Checks may be left at the Administration Building to Colin Thompson's attention or mailed to:
Bent Tree Foundation
744 Noah Drive, #113-184
Jasper, GA 30143
You can also donate on the Foundation's website via PayPal at www.benttreefoundation.org. Select Donate → Donation Options → Lifesaving Equipment Fund.
Together, we can help ensure that when Bent Tree residents need help, those answering the call have the tools to respond safely and effectively.

This sweet little guy needs a new home as his owner passed away. He was found July 6 in the cemetery across from McDonalds in Jasper. No one ever came forward looking for him so the man who found him kept him. This kind man passed away a couple weeks ago. This little dog needs a home.
If you recognize him or are interested in him, please call or text LuAnn Chambers @ 678-414-1047.

AT THE BENT TREE SHELTER
OUR LITTLE WARRIOR.
Found in a ditch at 4 weeks old with open wounds, live maggots & fleas biting at him & a broken back leg, little Goosey was rushed to the BT shelter where LuAnn managed to flush the maggots off him & kill the fleas. She started him on antibiotics & pain medication. He was taken to Wayside the next morning where it was confirmed he did have a broken leg, amputation was mentioned. Goosey was having none of that & within a week he was standing up, soon moving around on 4 legs & playing in his play pen, jumping onto his ball tower, using a proper litter box & putting on weight. After a few weeks another X-ray confirmed his leg had basically mended itself & he could run, jump & play. At the foster home he insinuated himself in with the 2 little girl kittens also bring fostered. They were not keen on him at first, but now they love each other.
I am now temporarily fostering him. He has finished all his shots, is 4 months old & will be neutered soon. He is a very unique little boy - curious to see any visitors, not afraid of anything or anyone & loves to play & be cuddled. After all he has been through, he deserves a loving home. Can you give him the best life? He is available to pre-adopt & can be visited at any time.
