You’ve seen the ads on TV… the lost, forgotten or ill animal suffering on the street in need of a home. When the Beverly Animal Shelter gets the call about just such an animal, they are there for the rescue. It is BAS getting these animals medical attention and feeding them. Here are three fine felines rescued from the streets.
SHELLY – An unclaimed stray from Main Street in Waterloo, Shelly arrived at BAS in mid June wearing her grey tuxedo. She is a healthy 2-year-old cuddlebug. Shelly is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped and tested negative for FeLeuk. She did however, test positive for FIV. Please do not be put off by this fact. FIV is a slow acting virus. Cats who test positive can live healthy lives for years. Keeping them safely indoors and feeding them nutritious meals can go a long way. Please consider sweet, lovable Shelly.
FOOEY – Strikingly handsome Fooey, a Seal Point Siamese with wonderful blue eyes is estimated to be 3 years old. He was left behind after an eviction. Fooey arrived congested and sickly. All he needed was a visit to the veterinarian. Fooey’s a big boy who likes to play but also wants to be a lap cat. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, micro-chipped and tested negative for both FIV and FeLeuk.
SANGRIA – A unique, muted, Calico tiger with Siamese eyes, Sangria was found at the Seneca Falls ARC. She had an upper respiratory infection and was undernourished. Some food and meds and now Sangria is feeling better and playful. A slender girl, she is thought to be 1½ years old but really looks and acts younger. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, micro-chipped and tested negative for both FIV and FeLeuk.
LAST WEEK’S PETS – All of last week’s pets, wonderful canine Sarg and felines, Teffer and Charlotte, remain waiting for someone just like you.
SHELTER NEWS

The new Integrated Veterinary Service has begun at the Beverly Animal Shelter. Although held only once or twice a month, the long wait for spay or neutering has been greatly reduced! Call the Shelter to make your appointment. They are now taking reservations.
DUE TO THE DECREASE IN GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES, THE LOCAL RECYCLERS OF ELECTRONICS HAVE CLOSED DOWN. THEREFORE, THE BEVERLY ANIMAL SHELTER IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING ELECTRONICS FOR RECYCLING.

Unfortunately, The Purina Pets for Seniors Fund has been DISCONTINUED. However, BAS is attempting to continue Senior adoptions on an individual basis through the generosity of others.

Why not take the opportunity to spend some playtime with your favorite canine. The Dave Pullen Memorial Dog Park at the Beverly Animal Shelter is open Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm. It is located on the front center grounds at the Shelter and has a double-gated entrance. It is free to the public (though the Shelter always appreciates any donations!), but we do require you to stop by the shelter staff (at the store) to show proof of rabies and distemper vaccinations. We want everyone, including your dog safe! We also ask that you please clean up after your dog. Come on out and give your pup a chance to run off lead in a safe and enclosed environment!
THANK YOU FOR THE GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PAST YEAR!!
The Shelter is no longer accepting scrap metal to recycle. However, they continue to accept returnable bottles and cans. For more information, call the Shelter at (315)539-9357. Be sure to wash out your returnables.
SHELTER NEEDS –
Thankfully, Dallyn is happy to announce that the Town of Tyre has joined Interlaken, Romulus and the Town of Waterloo in setting limits on the number of dogs one individual can own. Now, for the rest of Seneca County…
Round II of Kitten Season is well underway!! BAS needs you! To help the Shelter out, please go to www.FirstGiving.com/bas.
Please keep in mind when you enter the Shelter grounds, to adhere to the 5mph speed limit. A very sweet but deaf cat that had lived at the shelter for 17 years was killed because someone sped through the drive.
Dallyn, along with the ASPCA, would like to remind all cat owners of the importance (after spay and neutering) of cat collars (safety or breakaway) with proper identification for outdoor cats. The Shelter is overwhelmed by “found” but unclaimed cats. The hope of the Shelter is to be able to reunite the lost felines with their owners. Many types of collars are available for cats. Please see Dallyn for more information.
Please, if you have lost your dog or cat, DO CALL the shelter. Do not wait for an advertisement of “found dog/cat” to appear in the newspaper.
Please be a responsible pet owner. Spay and neuter your pets to prevent more unwanted animals. ONLY YOU can prevent the overflow of kittens that begins each Spring and carries on into the Fall.
We invite you to come and meet our wonderful creatures in person. The Shelter is open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily EXCEPT SUNDAY and Wednesday. The store is open from 9:00 to 6:00 Monday to Friday and 9:00 to 4:00 Saturday. Questions, call (315)539-9357 or email [email protected].
Yes, you can still view our pets on Petfinder.com, but have you had difficulty getting more up to date information on the Beverly Animal Shelter? There is always the very informative Beverly Animal Shelter Online found at http://beverlyanimalshelter.com/ where most of your questions can easily be answered.
