Alpine Humane Society Pet of the Week is Morris, a very calm sweet guy, about two years old. He was surrendered because his owner was advised to take him to a specialist for medical reasons, and they could not afford to do that. We went ahead and got his teeth cleaned, and he seems healthy cat right now, but he may need to have periodic steroid injections throughout his life. Time will tell.

The Alpine Humane Society Thrift Store helps support our mission of improving the lives of the pets in our community. Proceeds from the store help us provide food, veterinary care, and spay/ neuter services to the cats and dogs in the Alpine Animal Shelter. When you donate items or shop at the store, you make a difference.

Adoptions are handled by Alpine Animal Services at the city shelter, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., and 2-6 p.m. Monday through Friday at 2900 East Old Marathon Highway.

The Alpine Humane Society Thrift Store is located at 706 North Fifth Street in Alpine. For information about adoptions or other services, call the shelter at 432-837-9030. To view adoptable pets, visit alpinehumanesociety. org.
