So many of our furry friends were lost during this past weekend with all the storms and flash flooding. We got notice that an entire shelter was under water in Brighten TN (with 40+ dogs left homeless). If you have the capability of fostering or adopting a shelter dog for a short period of time please contact the Animal Shelters of Brighten or Millington.   Cathy Hudson www.please-adopt.us "If Pets Could Talk"

Hardeman County Animal Shelter complete... almost!

by CoCo, the Bean

Mom spoke with Miss Sherri the other day, and she tells us that the
shelter is in its final phase. All the runs are in, the water and
electricity are in, the air conditioning is in and they are in the
process of painting. There are two things still missing...the septic
tank, which they are unable to dig as there has been so very much rain
and the ground is still too wet...and the chain like fence around the
building so that people can take the dogs out to interact with them.
The many dog lovers in this county have banded together and raised the
monies necessary to build this structure with the hope that many more
furry lives can be saved. The new shelter has 32 runs...the old
shelter has 6!

The county gave a dilapidated old tire barn in the middle of the
landfill to our group and this is what love can do. We all wish that
it was larger and fancier but if it will save lives then we are happy.

Elections in this county are just around the corner...ask your
candidates if they support the animals...it can make a big difference
for those of us who love and care about what happens to our furry
friends!
