Hi I am Breeze

Help me! I'm timid and shy, but I'm SO sweet! Somebody was really mean to me before I got here. The nice people here at the shelter think I've been abused, so I really need a lot of hugs to get better. I don't appear to have any bad habits! I'm quiet, social, sweet, and very well mannered. My energy level is low, and I even appear to be housebroken. Please take me home with you today, or maybe you could foster me to get me out of this noisy place? I'm really scared! My friend Pam Lester can tell you how nice it would be to become a foster family- it's free, and it gives us a break from being here at the shelter. On your terms! Whenever it's convenient for you, even if just for a day! So please, even if you can't adopt, please consider fostering me or one of my friends here. It's a great program! Thank you!

Kennel Sponsorship Program

Grant County Animal Outreach is working hard to create a safer, healthier environment for our canine friends at the animal shelter in Moses Lake. We must sandblast all of the concrete surfaces free of the layers of paint and sealants  put on in previous years. By first stripping, then sanitizing, and finally resealing the concrete with the correct 2-part epoxy, we will be able to keep the animals safe from flaking paint and the diseases that could be sealed beneath it.

Pricing is for (1) one calendar year from the date of completion for the bank in which your sponsored kennel is in. This is a one time purchase for this advertising space and sponsorship of that kennel's improvement, NOT a monthly commitment. During that year, a metal sign plate created by Lake Bowl will hang on the front of the kennel, announcing to visitors how this sponsor helped to make these kennels a safer environment for all those who reside there. Each sponsor will have the opportunity to renew the same kennel or make an advance request for an alternate kennel (if available) the following year. Space is limited in key areas.

Pricing is based on kennel size and visibility for advertising ranging from $50 to $500. The original cost of the project was expected to exceed $8,000. Though our goal was to complete this by January 15th, 2008, we have found some individuals who may have either equipment or time to help with the labor portion of the project. If we are able to secure this help, we will lower the costs considerably, and we can then do further improvements with this kennel fund. We are now focusing on securing as many sponsors as possible at this time, while these contributed services may be available. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! We urge you to call today, and help us make these kennels a cleaner, safer place for everyone.
For more information, and availability please contact: Melody Sheriff at  (509)760-4910

Hi I am Halle

 

Halle came to the shelter with a ruptured cornea and was taken into foster care. (She looked like the Terminator!)

 

She has now had her eye removed and healed completely, ready to find that forever home!  

This face speaks volumes to those with a compassionate heart. Halle had a rough beginning, but now she is developing into a beautiful "lightly salted" black lady of a cat.

Notes from Halle- Well, I've been through mad crazy stuff since finding myself at the shelter! I'm a CYBORG cat! But don't let that scare you, I'm all feisty love and kisses on the inside. I have been kickin' it in a foster home while I recover but VERY SOON I will be ready to get outta dodge and find my forever home! You can meet me today though so gimme a call and let's hook up!


3/19- I hear I get to hit the singles scene again! Call on me today! I've been in foster, but this half-way house rap isn't for me. I'm ready to meet my SOUL MATE!

OUR MISSION:

To give shelter to the displaced and abandoned

To give safety to the abused and neglected

To educate the community about responsible pet ownership and care

 

OUR VISION:

 

Grant County Animal Outreach believes that all domestic animals deserve to be treated with respect and integrity. We will represent the animals with honesty and compassion. We will work with the community, rescue organizations and foster homes on behalf of the animals to give them a second chance at finding loving forever homes.

Grant County Animal Outreach strives to promote public awareness and provide education to the community concerning the importance of spaying/neutering to prevent overpopulation. We will utilize the newest technology available to reunite lost pets with owners, to identify breeds and characteristics, to advertise the availability of adoptable pets and to continue the education of ourselves and the public.

Grant County Animal Outreach will work to strengthen our relationships with city and county governments and to be responsive to changing community needs. We will be readily accessible in a crisis and be an informational resource. We will promote key animal issues by increasing our visibility in the community, participating in and supporting local events and causes.

Grant County Animal Outreach will fulfill these commitments by fostering a professional and compassionate staff and volunteer base through training and continuing education. We will maintain a strong and supportive Board of Directors.

 

Why Spay & Neuter is Important:

It's Good for Your Pet:

Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
Spaying and neutering reduces the risk of many forms of cancer in companion animals.


It's Good for You:
Spaying and neutering makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle.
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered.


It's Good for Your Community:
Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals.
Animal shelters are overburdened with unwanted animals that end up being euthanized or suffering on the streets.

 

According to the Humane Society of the United States:

Average number of litters a fertile cat can produce in one year: 3

Average number of animals in an average feline litter: 4-6

In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats.

One unaltered cat could lead to the death of almost half a million cats and kittens over the next seven years.

Number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year: 8-12 million

Number of cats and dogs euthanized by shelters each year: 4-6 million
