Adoptable Pet of the Month: Meet Mr. Bumpers!
This quiet laid back guy has been waiting for a family to love him for about a year now. Bumps came to us from a local animal control facility that was reaching capacity. He is a bit shy but would blossom in a home with patience and kids that are teen age or above. A while back, he had a urinary blockage which was treated, and now requires a special type of food that is readily available and inexpensive.
Please come in and spend time with Mr. Bumpers.

Recycle your old Cell Phones and Toner Cartridges
We are collecting used cell phones and toner cartridges (inkjet or laser) to benefit the animals we care about. The items will go to a company that specializes in recycling and refurbishing used technology.
Your donation will help protect the environment, while your unwanted cell phones and inkjet or laser cartridges will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations or refurbished and reused. They will make your un-needed technology available to those who can use it, while keeping it out of the landfill. If improperly disposed of, the cell phone can pollute up to 132,000 liters of drinking water. Donations may be tax deductible.
We're very excited about this program. "This recycling program not only benefits Mt. Pleasant, but assists in preserving the environment and bringing communications to people who could not otherwise afford it. "
All cell phones (sorry, no accessories) and toner cartridges are accepted. A collection bin is available in our lobby.
Donate to the 2012 Annual Fund Drive
MPAS is now accepting donations for the 2012 Annual Fund Drive.
As a new year is upon us, the cats and dogs at MPAS need your help more than ever to raise funds for their continued care at the Shelter. The gap between adoption revenue and expenses incurred for housing, medical, food and caretaking of the adoptable animals averages well over $200 - $400 per cat and dog. The Shelter had a record number of surrenders in 2011 primarily due to the economy in which so many loving pet owners have been losing their homes and financial stability.
Please consider making a donation today to help the over 850 cats and dogs we have cared for in 2011 and those that will come to us in 2012. Every dollar amount helps – please click the "donate" button today and type "Annual Fund Drive" in the comments section.
