adoptathon kick-off event!!!

H&S Feed and Country Store, Saturday May 5th 10am-2pm

The SMAS, in collaboration with H&S Feed and Country Store will be hosting an adoptathon on Saturday, May 5th from 10am-2pm! We are one of thousands of shelters around the country hosting adoptathons on the first weekend of may with the common goal of finding a home for each and every pet in our shelter!

Adoptable animals will be available to view on site and we will be processing adoption applications on site as well. We will try our best to send you home with a new family member the same day! All adoption requirements still apply and adopters must fill out an adoption application before adopting. Applications will be available at the event.

In addition to having adoptable animals on-site, we will also be having lots of information available for both new pet owners and experienced pet owners. Goodie bags packed to the brim with coupons and special offers from local animal businesses will be sent home with every animal adopted! We will also have microchipping services available to those who already own a pet and want the piece of mind of having a permanent form of ID for their pet! Microchips will be $20. Trust us, this is a steal!

Come out to support the shelter and help us save the lives of more animals than ever!

 

 

Gloria is a wonderful black Great Dane that came to the shelter as a stray several weeks ago. We noticed right off the bat that she had something odd about the way she walked so we took her to the vet to get x-rays and found out that she has a dysplastic hip that is causing her a lot of discomfort. Essentially what this means is that one of the sockets that holds the hip in place did not form properly and allows the hip joint to slide out of the socket. The vet thinks that this is a congenital defect that probably resulted from irresponsible breeding. Despite the pain in her hips, Gloria is as loving and playful as she can be. She will sit and lean against you for hours so long as you talk to her and pet her. She will even climb the fence at the shelter no problem to get to the nearest person and get some lovin'! Unfortunately, she is in pain and some days she shows it more than others. This is something Gloria will need surgery for very soon in order to be relieved of her pain and in order to have a normal quality of life as she ages. The surgery to correct Gloria's hip will cost upwards of $3,000...the Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue has offered to help Gloria by placing her in one of their foster homes so she has a place to go after surgery to recuperate, however, because like us, they are tight on cash, they have asked if we could help with the cost of surgery. Because our funds are stretched so much already, we are turning to the public for help! We are trying to raise as much as we can to help Gloria get the surgery she desperately needs to have a long, pain-free life. Even if it's just a few dollars, every little bit gets Gloria closer to help! Donations can be brought in or mailed to the shelter or via Paypal by clicking the link below!
