What's happening at HSWC . . .

Discount Days!

We need to make room at the shelter to accomodate the 2010 kitten season. We have a few '09 model cats at the shelter that need homes now. In order help them move, we have slashed the adoption fees to $25 for Ashley and Blackie.

Could your dog benefit from some obedience training?

There are training classes named Puppy Kindergarten (ages 7–16 weeks), Adolescent Puppy (ages 4–10 months), and Good Dog (ages 10 months and older) starting September 8 for six weeks, ending October 13 at the Palmyra Community Center.  $25 discount for dogs adopted from the HSWC.
