I no longer live in Homer or Anchor Point anymore, sadly not even in the state, relocated Outside in ‘08. However I remember Sherry Bess with much fondness! She is a wonderful, kindhearted woman. We adopted several dogs from the shelter and gave them good homes. On a couple of occasions we went out to a dog lot out of town where several sled dogs were abandoned and needed homes. We adopted one and loved her until she had to be put to sleep due to tumors which were fatal. I want to thank Sherry for all the time she spent with us in finding those wonderful animals. God Bless You. Renee G. De Armond

This breaks my heart. Thank you for taking them in to warmth and clean them up. Many people are dumping pets they have had for years due to unemployment and homelessness as it is nationwide. My pets are my family and my kids familiy so I do have a hard time understanding why they don’t take them to a warm area to get rid of them. When I was left with 2 young kids and 8 large dogs, we voted who got to eat that day. I kept them as I couldn’t sell them to people that wanted to cross bred to make a really mean dog! With dogs for over 60 years, I have only had one litter that was planned. I keep my dogs in my house especially in the winter. We animals lovers do stick together and look out for homeless animals. ( sure had my share of hungry homeless animals). Not that I wanted them but couldn’t turn my back on them. I don’t let my animals breed. Stopped being a breeder after the 1st litter (was part of my contract). Couldn’t find good homes, kept them. How I wish spay neuter clinics were free to stop this unwanted breeding and the death of pets. God bless the animal lovers as they always do right by the animal first.

I would like to donate. I am an out of stater, though, so I’ll need the area code to dial before your number. Thanks for all you do to help the animals.

I own 10 acres in Anchor Point and hope to retire there someday. I’ll keep your phone number just in case I might be able to volunteer for your organization if I do make it up there for good.

God Bless you all in your efforts to love his creatures!

This is so sad. Please, if you cannot take care of your puppies or dogs, please don’t let them suffer out in the cold. Please be responsible and take them to where they can have the chance of life and be cared for. I am in tears reading this!

HOMER ANIMAL FRIENDS LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM

Do your part to help reduce the number of unwanted and stray dogs and cats; please spay and neuter your pets.

If you are unable to afford the full cost of the operation for your pet, Homer Animal Friends offers owners of dogs and cats a subsidy from our organization equal to approximately 40% of the cost of the operation. In addition, if the owner supplies written proof of being on public assistance, our organization will pay all but $10.00 of the cost.

HOMER ANIMAL FRIENDS IS A 100% VOLUNTEER GROUP!

All of our money comes from our own fundraising efforts. We receive NO state or federal money. Due to our very limited funds, eligibility is for the Homer and Anchor Point areas only. Exceptions are made for animals adopted from the Homer Animal Shelter. Any animal adopted from the Homer Animal Shelter is eligible to use our program, no matter where they end up living.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Pick up an application from BARB’S VIDEO and complete it.

Contact HOMER VETERINARY CLINIC at 235-8960 to make an appointment for the spay/neuter of your pet.

On the day of the appointment, bring the completed application with you. The cost of the operation that you are required to pay will reflect a deduction for the Homer Animal Friends subsidy.

Vaccinations are advised, but not mandatory, for you pet’s operation. Homer Animal Friends will not be responsible for vaccination costs.

Questions? Are you interested in donating financially to the cause? If so, please call Homer Animal Friends at 235-SPAY (235-7729)

Thank you

Please get your dogs and cats neutered. An expense now, and I know that sometimes the money is hard to come by, but, you will save the lives of these precious animals. They didn’t ask to be born into this situation, so the least we can do is to prevent it. My heart goes out to these precious animals.

It’s incidents like this that make me lose hope for the human race.
