Cat & Dog Food Drives
The Pet Food Pantry is EMPTY! Fortunately, hundred of pounds of food have been distributed since January. Help us continue this needed program! We could use dry CAT and DOG food only. Canned food and litter are secondary. No treats or dog biscuits, please. Helping each other is necessary and meaningful. We appreciate your donations and can assure you that our four-legged friends and their families do, as well! This program also ensures that people stay with their pets and not fall behind or suffer from lack of regular meals. We can't say enough about how much good this program has done for the community. Help us keep it going! Call for drop off locations and times.

HSC in Need of Foster Homes
June 17, 2010
The HSC is in desperate need of new foster homes in order to rescue more little ones (and other cats and dogs) like Spanky & Darla featured here. For those who aren't already committed to other groups or busy helping out in other ways, this is a purely rewarding experience and great way to serve the community!

Be Proactive this Season
April 1, 2010
Be proactive and spay or neuter your dog or cat this season!! Remember that the initial cost of this life-saving surgery is much less than if your cat or dog becomes pregnant.
Veterinary care can be costly to responsibly care for their offspring and many others await the chance of finding homes in our county's Shelter.
Spaying females has been shown to decrease the potential for developing mammary cancers.
Neutering males decreases his urge to roam (contributing to becoming lost or hit by a car) or show certain forms of aggression such as biting.
The surgery is safe, effective and very beneficial to us all.
Thanks
Know that all of the people and animals that have been helped truly appreciate your support. Together we can certainly make a difference in our community and become closer to the reality of no more suffering - when a helping hand is all that is needed.
