Our principal objective is to find homes for
adoptable dogs, cats, and other small pets being housed and cared
for in our shelter.
|
 |
|
|
|
We accept lost and abandoned animals, as well
as those no longer suitable for their family. We try to
reunite lost pets with their owners. Our lost-and-found
pet service welcomes phone calls from anyone who has lost or found
a pet.

|
We serve as an impoundment facility for the
Town of Silver City and the unincorporated areas of Grant County,
housing animals taken into custody by the city and county Animal
Control Officers.

Reduced-fee vaccination clinics are held on
the second Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Rabies shots, other immunizations for dogs and cats, and annual
licenses required by city and county ordinances are available
then.

Pet cremation services
are available. We operate a modern crematorium under the
supervision of a qualified technician.

|
Educational presentations are given at area
schools, and tours of the shelter can be scheduled for groups.
Presentations emphasize the importance of spaying and neutering
and proper care of pets.

A memorial garden on the premises provides
a peaceful, contemplative environment, with a stone wall for placement
of plaques memorializing pets.

|
|
We provide outdoor space for special events
and training classes sponsored by local pet organizations.

|
In cooperation with local and county government
plans for responding to local and regional disasters, we maintain
ongoing plans to assist animal owners under emergency circumstances.

We participate in "First Strike",
a nationwide program that encourages law-enforcement and justice
officials to act when encountering instances of children who abuse
animals. This behaviour signals a child and a family needing intervention
now to prevent deepening problems.
