2022 is winding down, and it has been a great year at EARS. We are very grateful that our Adoption Center/Pet Store had minimal damage from Hurricane Ian. Our new thrift store had roof damage, and it made a mess of our beautiful store. Our landlord and volunteers worked hard to fix the damage and put the store back together. The official Grand Opening and Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting ceremony will be held Saturday, December 3rd, at 10:00 AM, followed by special sales all day. Stop by and do some treasure hunting at 280 S. McCall Rd.



Giving Tuesday has always been a key fundraising event for EARS. We are grateful to be a part of the Flanzer Trust which matches all donations from $5 to $500 made through their website for

EARS-Englewood Animal Rescue, not just on Giving Tuesday but everyday.

Giving Tuesday reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity. We can't do what we do for Pets in Need without your support.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022

Hi , my name is Bogey and I’m a 12 year young sweet lady who has been at EARS for several weeks in hopes of finding my new home. During hurricane Ian, I got to spend a few days away from the big cat room at the home of one of our volunteers.  Let me tell you it was a wonderful vacation because I investigated the entire home and found a comfortable bed just designed for my comfort, so I slept there a lot. But when I wasn’t in my bed I snuggled on the lap of any adult who was in a comfy chair reading. I also got to meet the house dog, Lexi. It didn’t take us long to bond and sniff one another. We even sampled each other’s food. I heard the adults say what a sweet kitty I am and would be a wonderful addition to any home. Hearing that made me purrr. I hope someone soon wants me to join their family.

Bogey was taken by her original owner to the vet to be euthanized because her grandson was allergic. Thanks to a very kind hearted woman that rescues every cat she possibly can, Bogey's life was saved and she was to brought to EARS to find a loving Forever Home. This sweet girl would love to meet you and possibly become your new companion.

We have had so many senior cats surrendered to EARS this year including a 19-year-old boy named Sean. He was adopted and is enjoying his Forever Home. We currently have a couple of 16-year-old cats hoping to get new homes soon.

In order for EARS Adoption Center/Pet Store and EARS Thrift Store to run efficiently, we need volunteers. If you have a few spare hours a week and you would like to make a difference for pets in need we would appreciate your time. Cat Room Care-Givers, Front Desk/Cashier are needed at 500 N. Indiana Ave.

Our Thrift Store is busy, and we need help sorting donations, pricing/ stocking merchandise and running the cash register at

280 S. McCall Rd.

We have a great group of people at both locations. Have fun while donating your time to a great cause.

We would like to share a sweet email from one of our adopters. David and his wife had previously adopted Sweet Pea, a 12-year-old Retriever mix from EARS. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge they adopted Gigi. They love to give senior dogs a loving home. The first photo is the day Gigi came to EARS, the second is her today.

"Touey, short for Ratatouille (she’s a rat terrier) was one of your placements 3-1/2 years ago (formerly named Gigi). Our family adopted her. My wife died of cancer 3 years ago with Touey at her side. Now Touey is my companion, living in Seattle at age 17. She goes to the nursing home weekly to visit our friend who has dementia. Everyone there loves her visits. She loves senior citizens, particularly women. Thank you for your great work finding homes for pets."

David James

We wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season
