Animals need your help.
Apr 10, 2009 (The Beaumont Enterprise - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Puddin's Place, the Lumberton no-kill shelter for dogs and cats, will close its doors Friday, April 17th.
A lack of donations, a tumbling economy and an excess of needy animals are the three main factors for shuttering the shelter, said Tina Nelson, Puddin's Place board member and Orange resident.
"We are just heartbroken. Since that time, everything just went downhill," Nelson said. "All these abandoned cats and dogs started coming in and nobody had any money left to donate. So we have until the middle of this month to find homes for the rest of the babies."
The shelter, which is located at 2512 US 69 S., currently houses 68 dogs available for adoption or foster care, according to Nelson.
Adoption rates are $50 per animal and include shots and spaying or neutering procedures.
Persons interested in viewing the available animals can visit the shelter from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For information, call Nelson at (409) 670-8716 or e-mail her at petlady67@yahoo.com.

I personally don't know any of these people but I adopted a great cat from this shelter. He's sweet and most importantly, he goes in the box!
