MOULTON-With the ASPCA adoption events only a few days away, we wanted to send you a handful of photos and background on animals that were rescued from the Lawrence County Animal Shelter last month. Most of these animals required critical medical treatment and care, and some were found near death by our responders. After much-needed medical care and treatment, these animals will be available for adoption this weekend , July 25 and 26, along with hundreds of other animals rescued in this case that are also looking for loving homes.
The adoptions will take place at 14934 Highway 20, Hillsboro, Alabama 35643. Turn into the driveway at Hillsboro Gin & Feed Co., then proceed left and back toward Warehouse 2.
Lucy (ID# ALA1000)
Lucy is a very friendly pit bull mix who was discovered by ASPCA responders with her litter of five puppies at the Lawrence County Animal Shelter. Unfortunately, the puppies didn’t survive as veterinary experts confirmed their cause of death to parvovirus, a highly contagious viral disease, which could have been prevented by vaccinations. Luckily, Lucy survived and she is now looking for a loving home.
Emma (ID# ALA1015)
Emma is a sassy senior who was discovered with skin infections and an ingrown collar. She was in so much pain from her collar wound that she would yelp as veterinary experts treated. Emma has since recovered from her medical issues, and she is now a jovial dog who loves to be in the company of others.
Ashley (ID# ALBH18)
Ashley is a sweet 12-week-old pointer mix who almost died of distemper, a contagious virus that affects a dog’s respiratory, gastrointestinal and central nervous systems. After receiving much-needed treatment and vaccines at the ASPCA’s medical unit, Ashley’s overall health improved and she has recently joined the other dogs at the temporary shelter. She is shy at first, but is looking for an individual or family to give her a good home.
Fiji (ID# ALC0051)
Fiji is a grey, domestic short haired cat who veterinary experts thought was blind due to a severe eye infection. With medical treatment and care, Fiji’s vision improved greatly, and the curious kitten has quickly come out her shell.
Della (ID# ALBH21)
Della is a senior dog who is blind, but that doesn’t hold her back. She is a very sweet and fond of being petted and handled. The ASPCA is planning to take Della to a specialist to see if she will be able to regain some of her vision.
