Adopt a Dog Month
Wed  October  1,  2008
photo October is Adopt a Dog Month! We have lots of furry, tail waging friends for you to pick from. They all would love a good home. I've you've been considering bringing a dog into your home; now is the time. They do say 'a man's best friend is his dog!'

Wed  October  22,  2008
photo Announcing the inaugural SWCHS Halloween Costume Contest. On Sunday, Oct. 26, we invite everyone to bring their pet to SWCHS in Halloween costume (owners are invited to be in costume as well). We will get the pets a treat and take their picture. We will then display all the pictures at the shelter, and ask all our visitors to vote on their favorite. The voting will end on Halloween. We will have prizes for the top vote-getters.
 
Adopt a Senior Pet Month
Sat  November  1,  2008
photo November is Adopt a Senior Pet month. There are many benefits of adoption an older pet. To name a few, their personality is already developed so there are no surprises. Senior pets may already be trained or house broken. A senior pet is more likely to be spayed or neutered than a new kitten. A senior pet may be a better pet for senior citizens than a new energetic puppy.

So give a wonderful animal another shot at a new life...adopt an older pet this month.
 
Spay Day USA
Thu  February  26,  2009
Thousands of puppies and kittens are born every hour in the United States; many will never find homes. Spaying and neutering of pets is a solution that we can all be a part of to help control pet over-population. If your pets are not spayed or neutered please set up an appointment with your vet today.

Extended Hours...Visit us from 10am - 5pm. $10 microchipping and free microchipping with adoptions. Valuable coupons and more!
 
June is Adopt a Cat Month
Mon  June  1,  2009
photo If you've ever considered adopting a cat, now is a good time. Did you know that according to The Berlin Longevity Institute, cats can add as much as 10 years to their owners lives. Picking up a cat has a nearly instantaneous calming effect on humans, causing blood pressure to drop and the heart rate to slow.
