ATTENTION: All prospective adopters will have to meet certain criteria and be approved for adoption of a pet.  When you apply for adoption we will check out your facilities for keeping a pet.  If you live out in the county, we will have the Sheriff's Dept. check your facility.  We are doing this in all cases in an effort to make sure all pets are going to a good home.  I am sure the public appreciates this.      Thanks,  Lucille

 We have dogs coming in daily!

BIGBEE Humane Society will be meeting the 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm
at the Theo Ratliff Activity Center
Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 7th.  Everyone is invited to attend the monthly meetings.  We will be discussing new projects so we need everyone's input.  We have a great place to meet that can accommodate a large crowd.  The BigbeeHS hosted the "Tribute to Elvis" this past weekend and had a sell out crowd! We have great things planned so please come out for the meeting! 

SMITTY, the Movie - Go to SMTTYtheMovie.com and enter the Bigbee Humane Society for a chance to WIN their contest!  Also, help spread the word about a movie whose message is that lives of both humans and pets can be enriched with pet adoptions.

The dog SMITTY in the movie is a homeless dog from a house foreclosure.  SMITTY travels across country and eventually ends up in a shelter in Iowa where he is rescued by a young boy, Ben, and his Grandpa.  SMITTY makes a positive change in the life of the entire family that adopts him, like so many rescued dogs could do if they were only given the chance.

Please visit the SMITTY website at http://www.SmittyTheMovie.com to vote for Bigbee Humane Society; the organization with the most votes could win fabulous prizes!.  Then encourage all of your friends to vote too!

Help spread the message:  "Adopt, don't shop!"
