Just a friendly reminder as you spend more time outdoors this summer, if you see a cat with a tipped ear, please leave it alone unless it appears sick or injured. A tipped ear means that someone has cared enough about the cat to get it spayed or neutered and vaccinated. When community cats are spayed/neutered, majority of their nuisance behavior is eliminated and they are less likely to roam from their food source. Please do not put out food for these cats in an attempt to trap them. They have a food source wherever their colony resides, so putting food elsewhere that they are not wanted will only cause them to wander further away from their colony for no reason. When an ear-tipped cat is brought into the shelter unnecessarily (i.e. not sick or injured) it causes undue stress to the otherwise healthy cat.

If you are having an issue with community cats around your home, please contact the shelter to discuss deterrents. The best defense is to have the cat spayed or neutered, which can be scheduled through our website here: antietamhumanesociety.org/services/spay-neuter-clinic/
Thank you for caring about our community cats. Remember, they are here through no fault of their own and they deserve to live just as much as any other animal. ... See MoreSee Less

Meet our sweet, sugar-faced Pet of the Week, Diesel, sponsored @EasyPetfence!

Diesel was surrendered to us when his owner could no longer care for him and he is still in search of a new home! Diesel previously lived with cats and ferrets but would need to be the only dog in the home. He has done well with kids here at the shelter but at 9 years old, children in the home will need to understand he is getting into his senior years and may need occasional breaks if he is getting tired.

Diesel's previous owners said he was housebroken and that he is an absolute snuggle bug, and will even snuggle up under the covers in bed with you! Diesel likes to relax in his kennel and take his naps, but don't let his age fool you! This happy boy loves to run and play still and is a big fan of stuffed toys. In addition to his toys, Diesel is a big fan of treats of any kind! He walks nicely on the leash and loves going out to the yard to play or taking a short stroll. Diesel likes to explore the world at his own pace and can occasionally have some selective hearing when he is interested in doing his own thing.
We would love to see this senior pup find a home to relax his golden years away in! If you are looking for a constantly happy and loveable dog, Diesel is definitely your boy!

If you or someone you know is interested in Diesel, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. ... See MoreSee Less
