PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their dogs unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place. Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately. And, though we would never advocate violence, the law does allow for homeowners to protect their property ... including their pets ... by any means necessary.

Howdy! I'm Katie your
friendly Mascot!
Katie, our Benld Adopt-A-Pet Sheltie mascot, at a mobile adoption held at the Springfield Petco store on South Veterans Parkway.
Katie is a friendly, though somewhat shy, gal until she gets to know you.
She serves as the shelter's ambassador by visiting area schools, nursing homes, etc., and encouraging people to treat all animals with dignity and respect; and she also helps raise funds for the shelter at our mobile adoptions.
