Boo Boo found a home on October 9th! She is the companion to another small dog with a family who is often home to keep her company. So far she “fits right in.” Kudos to Executive Director Vicki Blakeman who took her home and socialized her daily for more than a month until a home could be found!
Boo Boo’s ad read: “Hello out there. Does your dog need a buddy? Do you? I’m a short, dark and darling middle-aged woman (with the middle-aged wide girth to prove it) looking for lasting love. I’m fine left alone with other dogs in the house or yard but HATE to be left confined in a kennel at the Shelter. I totally tore my nail out trying to get out of confinement to be with folks (my pedicure was ruined). I am low-key when by your side and spend hours just snoozing here in the office, waking occassionaly to help the staff when they need canine advice. I always let you know when I have to go out, I enjoy walks, and also get along with everyone – I haven’t met a dog, cat, Guinea pig, or bird I don’t like. I can be your low maintenance, green energy door bell and alarm system, canine entertainer and personal exercise machine. What’s not to love? My name is Boo Boo and I want to meet you. Hope to see you soon!”

We are so fond of our animal residents and thrilled when they find a home – but hearing how they are doing in their new homes is icing on the cake! Thanks to everyone who makes room in their home and heart for a rescued pet and for sharing their stories with us.
Adopt a Shelter Pet: It’s Karma You Can Cuddle!

During July, Truex Furniture & Appliance will donate 10% of all sales $499 and over to Stafford Animal Shelter. This could add up to hundreds of much needed dollars for homeless animals. But that’s not why you should make that purchase at Truex in July. The benefits are bigger than that.
Buying local keeps your dollars circulating in the community. When you make a purchase at a chain 80 cents of every dollar leaves the community immediately. Local purchases improve our community’s struggling economy by sustaining jobs, making it possible for those employees to spend their wages in town, creating a tax base that supports local infrastructure and services, and a larger percentage of local purchases go to local charities that serve the community.

Stafford Animal Shelter’s suppliers (people who couldn’t keep or didn’t want their dog anymore) have delivered more dogs than we have space for so we are having a HUGE SALE! All adult dogs – regardless of the style, design, pattern, or utility – are HALF PRICE until the supplies are reduced. Sure, they are seconds and some have slight defects but all are perfectly functional canine companions. The overcrowded conditions aren’t good for anyone so come pick out a waiting dog: you can be a hero for half price!
