Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter operates as a

“quality of life” shelter, and the devoted workers

are committed to making sure that every animal

in their care has exactly that.


The shelter takes in approximately 750 cats and dogs per year. All adult animals are spayed and neutered prior to being made available for adoption.


In addition, all animals receive all necessary shots, wormings, and other medical treatments, and all dogs are licensed before leaving the shelter.


All would-be adoptive families are carefully screened before being allowed to take home any pet. In this way, each adopted animal is assured of a good and loving home.

The shelter is open

Tuesday through Saturday

12 to 5 pm

Wednesday 12 to 7 pm.


Sunday and Monday by appointment only.

The Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Year (HAPPY) Act (H.R. 3501) was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on July 31, 2009 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. If approved, this act would amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow an individual to deduct up to $3,500 for "qualified pet care expenses." Write to your U.S. representative today to urge him or her to support and cosponsor the HAPPY Act, H.R. 3501.

Dogs are abandoned and surrendered to shelters  for different reasons. Although all dogs in shelters are forced to face difficult issues, these problems seem to become more intense for animals as they age. Please consider adopting a senior dog, they can make devoted and loving companions.

Cool pet hair trick

Adopt-a-Pet.com co-founder David Meyer brings us this awesome trick for removing pet hair from furniture.  It's simple, but it's so effective you won't believe it.

 

Just put on a latex glove or dishwashing glove and run your hand over the surface of your furniture.  The pet hair balls right up!  All of us at Adopt-a-Pet.com have practically had latex gloves permanently attached to our hands since this discovery, so we thought we'd pass it along to you! Hope it makes your life a little easier.

95% of cat owners admit they talk to their cats.


A cat will clean itself with paw and tongue after a dangerous experience or when it has fought with another cat. This is believed to be an attempt by the animal to soothe its nerves by doing something natural and instinctive.



Dogs' eyes have large pupils and a wide field of vision, making them really good at following moving objects. Dogs also see well in fairly low light.



It has been established that people who own pets live longer, have less stress, and have fewer heart attacks.
