Attention Bent Tree Residents:
When the Call Comes, They’re Ready - When an emergency happens in Bent Tree, we count on our firefighters and emergency personnel to answer the call. Now, we have an opportunity to give them the equipment they need to better protect our community—and themselves.
Help Equip Those Who Protect Us - Through its Community Enhancement mission, the Bent Tree Foundation supports projects that make our community safer and improve the quality of life for our residents.
Two critical needs have been identified:
FIRE DEPARTMENT — $12,000
The department needs 1,500 feet of 3-inch supply hose to replace the current 2½-inch hose on both fire trucks. The larger hose will provide greater water flow and improve firefighting capability and firefighter safety.
SAFETY & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT — $7,000
Specialized rope rescue equipment and a Sked stretcher will help responders safely reach and transport patients in Bent Tree’s steep, wooded and challenging terrain.
Make a Difference Today!
The Foundation has established a Lifesaving Equipment Fund to help purchase this essential equipment.

Together, we can help ensure that when Bent Tree residents need help, those answering the call have the tools to respond safely and effectively.

This sweet little guy needs a new home as his owner passed away. He was found July 6 in the cemetery across from McDonalds in Jasper. No one ever came forward looking for him so the man who found him kept him. This kind man passed away a couple weeks ago. This little dog needs a home.
If you recognize him or are interested in him, please call or text LuAnn Chambers @ 678-414-1047.

OUR LITTLE WARRIOR.
Found in a ditch at 4 weeks old with open wounds, live maggots & fleas biting at him & a broken back leg, little Goosey was rushed to the BT shelter where LuAnn managed to flush the maggots off him & kill the fleas. She started him on antibiotics & pain medication. He was taken to Wayside the next morning where it was confirmed he did have a broken leg, amputation was mentioned. Goosey was having none of that & within a week he was standing up, soon moving around on 4 legs & playing in his play pen, jumping onto his ball tower, using a proper litter box & putting on weight. After a few weeks another X-ray confirmed his leg had basically mended itself & he could run, jump & play. At the foster home he insinuated himself in with the 2 little girl kittens also bring fostered. They were not keen on him at first, but now they love each other.
I am now temporarily fostering him. He has finished all his shots, is 4 months old & will be neutered soon. He is a very unique little boy - curious to see any visitors, not afraid of anything or anyone & loves to play & be cuddled. After all he has been through, he deserves a loving home. Can you give him the best life? He is available to pre-adopt & can be visited at any time.

Are you missing this little tabby cat? A resident on Echo Ridge in Bent Tree has been feeding him/her for a couple of months. The cat is now safe at the shelter, definitely not feral but scared so we do not know yet if male or female, hopefully not pregnant.

If this is your cat please contact Luann Chambers @ 678-414-1047

PURRFECT COMPANIONS ARE WAITING FOR YOU.

APRIL & MAY were found on a resident’s porch on Mulligan Drive in early June. They are now around 4 months old & in another month will be spayed, microchipped, & be up to date on all their shots. They are available for pre-adoption. These 2 little girls are very special, a little shy at first but quickly warm up to you. I am fostering them & after 48 hours both were sitting on my lap just loving to be petted. They are very lady-like, playful but not too rambunctious. They will make a wonderful addition to your family.
To visit these 2 little girls please contact Linda at 843-368-7013. Here's a few photos from first rescue until now.
