News and Events

Holiday Adoptions
Pet Behavior Resources

Although a new pet may seem like the perfect holiday gift, it is very important to remember that a new pet is a major committment and careful consideration must be given when making the decision to welcome a new addition to the home. The holidays are a busy time and this adds more stress to an already stressful adjustment period in a new home. Because of this, the SMAS will not be adopting animals out between the dates of December 20th- December 25th. Adoptions will resume on December 26th. No exceptions will be made to this policy.

We apologize for any inconvenience!

Got a dog or cat that with a behavioral problem that is making you consider finding them a new home? Or maybe you just want to understand that quirky thing your pet does? Check out these behavior tips, courtesy of the Humane Society of the United States. Even for the most complicated behavioral problems, these useful tip sheets are a great place to start when taking on the sometimes complicated task of canine or feline behavior modification.

Help Our Shelter


Because a shelter environment can be stressful on the animals, enrichment and comfort are absolutely essential to keep our animals happy! Kuranda beds are very durable and designed to provide a comfortable place to lounge in a kennel environment. The Kuranda company makes it easy to donate one of these great beds. Simply click on the link below to purchase a bed that will be shipped directly to the shelter.


One of a cat's most basic instincts is to scratch. Scratching stretches the muscles in a cat's feet and also relieves stress. One of the easiest ways to provide our cats with the opportunity to scratch is by providing them with a Stretch and Scratch scratch pad in their kennel. These are relatively inexpensive and the cats absolutely love them! Please consider donating a box of 25 or 50 Stretch and Scratch pads by visiting the link below.
