Duct Taped Kitten
A New Leash on Life took in this small kitten today who had been wrapped in duct tape and turned in to the emergency clinic. The tape was removed, leaving open wounds and raw skin…an aweful sight, but that didn’t slow the little fella down. He has a great attitude and with several treatments and wraps, he will be as good as new. Thanks to Valley Animal Hospital for taking him in on a moment’s notice for us. He’s in very good hands! Next week we will need a foster home for him to go to for living, loving, and healing. Email pets@anewleash.org if you would like to help this little guy.
Topple – 2 Broken Legs and a Heart of GOLD!
A good Samaritan saw Topple get hit by a car and stopped to pick her little, black body up off the street. She survived the accident and was turned in to the Animal Emergency Clinic with two badly broken legs. She was x-rayed, stabilized, and then turned over to A New Leash on Life. She’s going to need orthopedic surgery, time to heal, lots of love, and a FOSTER HOME!
Topple is a curious, smart, little girl, about 10-12 weeks old, and she really does have a HEART OF GOLD! Helping her is what it’s all about! Help us help her!
If you would like to donate to help with Topple’s surgery, please go to www.anewleash.org/donate and you can donate via paypal. Just put “Topple” in the comment section. Or send a check to ANLOL, 707 Andrew Jackson Way, Huntsville, AL 35801. And if you’d like to help her by being her foster mom or dad until she recovers, please email pets@anewleash.org.
Special Deals for Special Pets
These little ones need our help URGENTLY!
Trying to save more lives is one of our main goals at A New Leash on Life, Inc. Spaying and neutering is the other. Each week during the summer, A New Leash on Life is offering a special deal on different colors or breeds of cats and dogs. We don’t believe that pets have a monetary value. They are not possessions or toys to be bought, sold, or thrown away. They are wonderful, living, breathing, creatures who are deserving of the best life can offer! And many are dying in the city shelter each day, because they are not adopted. Spaying and neutering is the most important part of the solution to this problem. But second to that is getting them out of the shelter and into one of our foster homes so the public can come to our adoption days at Petsmart to see them, touch them, spend time with them, and fall in love with them! It really works! The volunteers see this in action each Saturday at Petsmart.
So, to find more adoptive homes, we are offering these special deals on some very special pets! We will not lower our standards for adoption, only our adoption donation requirements. You must be able to afford proper vet care for the life of the pet you are adopting, however, so one of our adoption counselors will help you decide if adopting is right for you! We sure hope it is! Then YOU can be part of the solution and help us save more lives!
Send us an email to pets@anewleash.org to sign up for our New Leash Newsletter, published weekly, and you will get a heads-up on the upcoming specials! And come down to the Jones Valley Petsmart on Saturdays (and Market Place Wed through Sat) to meet these awesome creatures…one is there waiting to love you unconditionally!
When we adopt one out, we can save him, too!
Senior Pets Need Our Help!
Sweet Old Man
Many senior pets have a hard time in the hottest and coldest months of the year…especially if they are not allowed indoors. This summer, many will experience weakness, sickness, and dehydration, and some will end up in shelters because their owners don’t have enough money to have them vetted.
A New Leash on Life would like to help more of these deserving senior pets by providing foster care and veterinary care for them in their last years or months of life.
George Senior, pictured below, is a prime example of a little, old man who ended up in a kill shelter with many, many health needs. He was dehydrated, un-neutered, deaf, weak, and had an injured leg and an enlarged prostate. And that was just the beginning of his ailments! A New Leash on Life rescued him, had him vetted, and placed him in an approved foster home to begin the best days of his life! He has since been adopted by his foster family and is doing remarkably well with the proper nutrition, vetting, and lots of love!
If you are interested in helping with the New Leash Senior Pet Project, email pets@anewleash.org or call 256.489.PETS. The more volunteers we have on this team, the more sweet, old girls and boys we can help!

3-Day Adopt-a-Thon This Weekend!!
- BJ
Come to Petsmart in Jones Valley February 12-15, this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, to see our fun-loving dogs and cats looking for forever homes. BJ will be there….and many, many more. Check out all of our adoptable pets at anewleash.org/adopt. When you adopt a pet from ANLOL, you are adopting a pet who has been in a foster home, not a cage, and his/her good and bad habits are known. Each pet has also been fully vetted: spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for heartworms (dogs) and FIV/Felv (cats), dewormed, and whatever else they need to be happy and healthy!
Our main goal is to match each pet with a person or family who will enjoy them as a new family member, make a lifetime commitment to them, and whose lifestyle matches that pet’s needs. This helps to reduce the chances of them ever being homeless again.
See you this weekend at Petsmart!
