Read about our new program.... Foster homes are needed for puppies for 2 to 3 weeks. We have a program to save the lives of puppies. The program requires the puppies reside outside of the shelter environment until they have their first set of puppy shots. Call or email to Volunteer as a Foster Parent. The puppies are guaranteed to be adopted after having been fostered! |

Puppy Rescue Program (Puppies Across America) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Happily some parts of the county have very successful
spay/neuter programs and humane animal regulations. As a result,
they do not have enough puppies available for adoption from their
shelters to meet the requests that they get. This is very good news for
Pearl River County puppies!
Groups in the Northeast have raised money to fly qualified puppies from across America to their location. Our Shelter was invited to join their program. We need to be able to be sure that our puppies are healthy when we send them on their way. In order to do this we need to provide our candidate puppies a home outside the shelter for long enough to get their first set of puppy shots. This normally takes 2 to 3 weeks. We are eagerly looking for volunteers to foster puppies for this time period. You get to enjoy the antics of a puppy or two for a short time and know that they will be going to a loving home when they leave your care. The SPCA will pay for the puppy shots and can pay for the food and other expenses as well. We are also looking for help in getting them to the airport on travel day. Please consider doing a small thing that plays a big part in helping to provide homes for unwanted puppies from Pearl River County. |

Their flight was diverted to St. Louis, which just happened to be close to our Pet Travel Agency "PET AIR" in Kansas City. They sent someone over to pick them up and played with them in their offices until they could continue their trip. They left for Boston airport on Thursday night. They went to Indianapolis, and got diverted to Philadelphia on the way to Boston. The Shelter drove down to pick them up and they finally arrived in Massachusetts 5 days later than planned.
