To help control pet over-population, all shelter animals are sterilized prior to adoption. Spaying and neutering also have many other benefits such as eliminating most roaming and fighting in males. Less prostate problems and testicular tumors. Studies show most behavior problems and many medical problems in cats and dogs can be eliminated by spaying and neutering.

Through radio, newspaper and television exposure, school programs, shelter tours and educational booths, the Humane Society is striving to make more people aware of the needs of animals and to educate the public about responsible animal care.

The Humane Society's adoption services include extensive counseling to help ensure appropriate matches between companion animals and people.

Would you like to foster a pet? It is easy... Just contact the shelter at 536-3459 and we can discuss what type of pet you would like to foster. It is wonderful for those little friends that are a bit scared or timid. Could have been injured before arrival and would need some extra loving care, including underweight pets. Even our expecting little friends could use a friendly home to visit until ready to be adopted.

Our pets live relatively short lives. For many of us who love our pets, their death can affect some of us even more than the death of a relative or friend. The death of a pet leaves few people totally untouched.

A pet may come to symbolize many things to each of us. It may represent a child, perhaps a child yet to be conceived or the innocent child in us all. It may reflect the ideal mate or parent, ever faithful, patient and welcoming, loving us unconditionally. It is a playmate and a sibling. It is a reflection of ourselves, embodying negative and positive qualities we recognize or lack in ourselves. The same pet may be all of these, alternating between roles on any given day or for each member of the family.

When a pet dies, we expect that our pain will be acknowledged, even if it is not shared, by our relatives, friends and colleagues. Though the bond between you and your pet is as valuable as any of your human relationships, the importance of its loss may not be appreciated by other people. The process of grieving for a pet is no different than mourning the death of a human being. The difference lies in the value that is placed on your pet by your family and by society as a whole.
