We were so sad that the 4-H Dog Club - Barktober Bash was canceled because of the hurricane….so….

We were a vendor and really needed a successful fundraiser ❤️‍🩹

We are hosting a Pop Up Event this Tuesday at the Lake Dow Pavilion - this is the shopping area where Thompson’s Market & T&T Meats is located.
We start serving at 11:30! Stop by and pick up your lunch!! ❤️❤️

Chalo is still providing our Taco Plate Fundraiser and Thomason Market donated the lemons for our lemonade stand!

Friends of Henry Animals, Inc
Daphane will be there with her Pawtique Goodies--come get a Pet Odor Exterminator candle, spray, wax melt, or car hanger! She will also have loads of unique bandana's.

THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING HERE FOR THE ANIMALS IN NEED ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone that helps when you can help. My dear volunteers that are in the day to day trenches … my rescue friends… gosh I love you guys. Thank you for always willing to help.

The community …whether it is sending $5, transporting, trapping, teaching others about TNR, taking both human & pet food to a needy family, picking up supplies, organizing the storage … the list can go on and on.

There’s so much done behind the scenes that people will never see on Facebook or social media. ❤️‍🩹

Families that are being helped. Animals that are being cared for and People’s lives that are being changed daily.

Sincerely
Jennifer Evans ❤️🐾

We are very fortunate to have this gem right here ❤️
Dr. D will be at the Bark-Tober Bash at Heritage Park this Saturday from 11-2 - $10 rabies vaccines & $10 microchips! Pet Adoptions too!

So proud of the important changes and upgrades to our Henry County Animal Care & Control ❤️‍🩹

🎉 BIG milestones. BIG gratitude. Henry County, we have amazing news to share! 🐾

September was an incredible month at Henry County Animal Care & Control and this week, we completed our 1,000th in-house spay/neuter surgery! ✂️💙
Yes, you read that right: over 1,000 sterilization surgeries performed right here in our shelter! Each surgery helps an animal move closer to a home while preventing future unwanted litters. That represents so many lives helped and so many more protected. We couldn’t be prouder of our team!

September also brought:
🏡 98 adoptions—our highest monthly total to date!
🚐 86 animals placed with rescue partners!
That’s 184 animals who took their next step toward a brighter future! ❤️

To our adopters, rescue partners, volunteers, community and everyone who shares our animals: THANK YOU. Your support helps turn our hard work into happy endings.

Henry County, our citizens are the best around. Thank you for showing up for the animals who need us and for helping us accomplish something worth celebrating! 🐶🐱🎉
