Humane Society of Elmore County News – 6 Jun '25
Rea Cord
Executive Director
On Saturday, 21 Jun ‘25, starting at 11 am, come out to 184 Hotrod Lane, Elmore Township, and join in the fun sponsored by the Punishers Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) Three Rivers as they help raise always needed funds for our Shelter.
The Punishers Benefit Poker Run starts with registration from 11am - 12:30pm at the Clubhouse. The registration fee is $25 for riders and $10 for passengers. If you do not participate in the ride, there will be a $10 donation at the gate for the after party. It will be a shotgun blast style poker run with the last bike in at the clubhouse NLT 5:30 pm.
There will be lots of opportunities to help our Shelter and pick up some desirable goodies for yourself as well via a live auction, chance opportunities and more.
Once the ride is completed, there will be great food and cold beverages available, and the after-party will fire up for those 21 years old and older. After the Poker Run everyone will also be able to enjoy entertainment by Damn Skippy, a rockin’ band that is known throughout central and southern Alabama and west Georgia!
Summer always sees high animal intake which means we need more of everything and why we are most appreciative for the above benefit to help our work. With high intake, adoptions are critical & our adoption fees are still just $100 for dogs & $50 for cats under one-year-old; cats over one-year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip (registered to you at the time of adoption), heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination if old enough and a free health exam with your participating veterinarian.
You can see our available pets on our website at www.elmorehumane.org, or the two major pet adoption sites, www.adoptapet.com or www.petfinder.com. Once we receive and approve the adoption application, we will contact you (via email) to set up an adoption appointment.
We also love playing ‘matchmaker’ via our Wish List Adoption Application (on our website homepage: www.elmorehumane.org ) where you can fill out the app telling us what you are looking for. With your information, we will contact you if we get in a pet that might be a good fit for what you are looking for. We have fulfilled quite a few wish adoptions this way!
Our application and appointment process helps us be able to better help potential adopters. Once approved and an appointment is set, that pet will not be adopted out from under the applicant as it will be on a temporary hold for the approved applicant. An appointment gives us time to work with the applicant and if the pet that was applied for is not a good fit we can help see if we have an alternative pet that will meet the adopter’s wishes and needs. We do ask scheduled adopters – please be on time for your appointment and if something comes up, please email or give us a call at 334-567-3377 to let us know.
