There will be an Easter Bake Sale at Mahaska Drug in Oskaloosa March 28-30 from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. All proceeds will be donated to Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter (SMAS).
Maple the Kitty Cat
Meet Maple, KBOE 104.9 FM‘s Pet of the Week from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter.
She’s about 5 1/2 months old – and the only kitten remaining from strays that came in last season. But we don’t understand why she hasn’t found a home yet… because Maple is a sweet and curious kitten. Would you get a look at those eyes? She’s perfect!
Visit www.stephenmemorial.org to learn more, call the shelter at 641-673-3991, or check out the Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter Facebook page.
Emma the Pit Bull Mix
KBOE 104.9 FM‘s Pet of the Week is a sweet and adorable girl named Emma from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Emma is a 10-month-old pit bull mix who came in as a stray a week ago. She gets along well with other dogs, but hasn’t been exposed to cats just yet.
She comes off as shy and timid at first, but we know she’ll warm up to the right person. Could that person be you? If so, stop in to Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter to see if she would be a good fit for your home. ???? SMAS is located at 2299 235th St in Oskaloosa, IA. They can be reached by phone at (641) 673-3991.
About SMAS
With the help of the Mahaska Humane Society, SMAS cares for over 1,000 animals per year. They provide animal control services for the City of Oskaloosa, rural Mahaska County, and smaller municipalities that have signed contracts with SMAS. In addition, they also work to educate the community about responsible pet ownership through multiple community outreach programs and through their “Spay the County” program in which they offer spay/neuter assistance to low-income families within Mahaska County, IA. Though we are a small shelter, serving a rural community, we pride ourselves on having a progressive view on animal sheltering as a field as well as the ways animal welfare organizations are a value to the community.
Taz the Brindle Pitbull-Mix
Meet Taz, KBOE‘s Pet of the Week! She is a three-year-old Brindle/Pitbull mix available for adoption at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa. She does not do so great with small dogs or cats in the home, but she is quite the lover when she finds her “person”. Shy at first, she tends to warm up when she gets to know her surroundings and feels more confident after she’s had some time to get settled.
She was brought into the shelter with her friend, Igor. For more information on Taz or any other pet at the shelter, contact Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter at (641) 673-3991.
Lancelot the Hemingway Cat
Lancelot is our Pet of the Week from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter . 
????
Lancelot is a 3-year-old polydactyl (which means he has extra toes!) who has been at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa since October. Polydactyl’s are also known as “Hemingway Cats’. He’s super snuggly, already neutered, and he’d love to meet you. For more information, stop into the shelter, visit their website, or give them a call at 641-673-3991.
Benelli the Chihuahua/ Pomeranian Mix
It’s Thursday and you know what that means – we get to meet a new canine companion from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa.
Today we were visited by Benelli (pictured) – a 1.5 year-old-chihuahua/pomeranian mix. She was a complete ray of sunshine and even had a smile on her face. Although she already has an adopter lined up, there are other adorable dogs and cats currently available for adoption.
If you’re interested in adopting a new furry friend, visit Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter or give them a call at 641-673-3991. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring Pet of the Week, contact KBOE at 641-673-3493.
Benny the Red-Heeler Mix
Benny is a male 1-year-old Red Heeler mix and he’s got a big week ahead of him: He’s going in to be neutered next week and then he’ll be ready to go home with his new owner… Could it be you? He’s shy at first, but don’t let that fool you, he’s a spring-loaded sweetheart and he loves to explore.
Benny is currently at the Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa, Iowa. #PetOfTheWeek is sponsored by Faux Paws Bakery in Pella. Thanks to Faux Paws Bakery, the lucky person who adopts Benny will also receive a $10 Faux Paws Certificate.
Buster the Staffordshire Terrier
Meet The Round Guy’s newest bud, Buster Brown!
Buster is a three-year-old Staffordshire Terrier who Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter employees found with a bullet in his hind left leg, and shrapnel in his right leg. But he is still as smiley, loving, and good-natured as can be.
Visit Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter to fill out an application for Buster and to meet some of his friends – and be sure to put an order in for the delicious Valentine’s Day Caramel Apples fundraiser.
Special thanks to our Pet of the Week sponsor, Faux Paws Bakery in Pella, Iowa. Buster’s new family will get a $10 gift certificate to pick out some delicious doggie Dutch letters, squeaky toys, and other goodies that can be found at Faux Paws!
Rascal the Terrier-Mix
Meet 4-year-old Terrier-mix Rascal. And boy, does he live up to his name! He loves playing all sorts of games, but he especially loves playing fetch with a good tennis ball. Rascal has been described by Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter employees as playful and energetic. However, staff also mentioned that Rascal is not the greatest with children.
If Rascal sounds like he’d be a perfect addition to your home, please stop out at or contact the Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter. The number for the shelter is 641-673-3991.
#PetOfTheWeek is sponsored by Faux Paws Bakery in Pella. Thanks to Faux Paws, the lucky person who adopts Rascal will also receive a $10 Faux Paws Certificate.
