My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

Posted on 4/7/23, and the pictures were taken on 4/1/23. Alvey was picked up by the Smith County, TX Animal Shelter on 9/1/22. We picked him up on 9/30/22, he was already neutered, estimated to have been born in 2012, and weighed 68 pounds on 4/1/23.

Alvey is deaf, and had an ear infection when we picked him up that was treated. We thought maybe he could hear again after he was treated, but he is still deaf, so he will require a fenced yard. He loves sleeping on dog beds, loves to be pet, is good with other dogs, good on a leash, and is crate trained. We don't know if he is house trained. He happily walks fast to me when he sees me, to get some attention. He would love to spend his last few years in a home that he could give a lot of love to.

$25 adoption fee, since donations were made for his vet care, and he was already neutered.

Go meet their pets

It depends on who has the pet. We don't advertise our address to keep people from dumping animals on our road anymore than they usually do, especially since this is also where we live. I like to visit with a person on the phone first before letting them come meet the pet.

More about this rescue

This is a small animal rescue for cats and dogs. I have several foster homes in various areas, and I also do courtesy postings for people who need help finding a home for their pet, which is about 80% successful. The pet doesn't have to enter a rescue or shelter and the owner is contacted, so they decide who their pet goes to. If a person can't send me pictures, and they don't live too far away, I will go and videotape the pet myself to place pictures on the internet, or have a volunteer get the pictures. There have been a few pets that haven't been able to find a home through this service, but it depends on what the pet is and who is looking on the internet. When we have space available we take transfers from a local kill animal shelter. We also step in and help people who find themselves with multiple animals and no way to pay to get them fixed. Usually I will get all the females fixed to get their circumstances under control, and in some cases I will also help with donated food when I have extra. If they want to find homes for some of the many pets they have accumulated, then I will place their pictures on the internet for them. We don't euthanize unless a pet is seriously ill.
