Montgomery Adopt a Shelter Pet Stamp Release Event

On May 1, the Montgomery Post Office commemorated the issuance of the Adopt a Shelter Pet Stamps at the local PetSmart. Customers could purchase the stamps, affix them to "rescue certificates," and have them stamped with a special postmark that was created just for the event.
A wide variety of shelter pets needing homes were also available for adoption.

Postmarks thanks Eve Golden for sending us the pictures and information from this fun, helpful, and profitable event.

A Special Cancellation was designed by Montgomery Postal employee Mechelle Manning. On her farm in Autauga County, Mechelle herself cares for 6 dogs, 5 cats and 4 horses, a majority of which are rescued pets.
