What's happening at HSWC . . .

Will you help?

Here is an opportunity to become actively involved in finding good homes for our wonderful cats and to meet other cat-loving individuals. Just as your input about a new shelter vehicle resulted in the purchase of that vehicle, your response to this request may determine whether HSWC can expand into Victor to provide another satellite adoption center for us.  Please respond to the shelter at (315) 946-3389 or to Andi Meyer at (315) 986-1287. The new store opened in October.

Could your dog benefit from some obedience training?

Training classes for Puppy Kindergarten (ages 7–16 weeks), Teen Puppy (ages 5–11 months), and Good Dog (ages one year and older) starting Wednesday evening, April 17, 2013, for 7 weeks, ending June 5 (no classes March 24) at the Palmyra Macedon Middle School, in Palmyra. $25 discount for dogs adopted from the HSWC within the last year. There must be a minimum of 4 dogs registered for the CGCC class or it will be cancelled.
