We are asking for your donation today on simply because we need it. It takes a lot of resources to help all these animals that come through our doors. We don't discriminate, we help them all as best as we can.
The old ones, the sick ones, the ones with no moms, the ones that were left behind, the ones that walk funny, the ones that are afraid of people...I could go on for days....
But the hardest ones to help are the ones that come to us in such bad shape that all that is left for us to do is help them pass so they aren't suffering any longer. In fact, last night as I was leaving to go home for the day, the call for help came in.... A cat found in an empty rental home, left behind for many months...and she was in critical condition. By now, all the local vets are closed. Even though I don't want to face what's coming, there is no other choice but to tell them to bring the cat in...so we can try to help. When this poor cat was laid on the counter in the shelter, I knew it was already too late. She was so dehydrated from lack of water and so cold that her skin was thick and stiff... She cried the most pitiful broken cries, and couldn't move her body no matter how hard she tried. It was like her body was already gone, but her consciousness was still there. It was heart rending. The only thing I can do for her at this point is put her in my car and make the long trip to the emergency vet. They confirmed what I thought and agreed that she has suffered for long enough and the kindest thing to do for her is to help her pass and end the suffering. I sat there with her, petting her gently so she knew she wasn't alone. I told her though my tears that she was a good girl, and that I was sorry that this was all I could do to help her. I don't know what her name was.... But she will join the rest of the souls that live in my memory... The ones that we couldn't help. 💔
SHS is a small non-profit (no-kill) shelter run by a small staff of people who are committed to doing what we can do to help the abandoned, the injured and the unwanted. We are overloaded with dogs and cats right now....It takes a lot to keep the shelter going, and every little bit you could spare will help. However, we know that times are tough, so if you can't help by donation, please help by sharing this post, volunteer if you have spare time, or apply to be a foster. And most importantly, PLEASE spay & neuter your pets. Make it a priority.... the amount of abandoned pets is overwhelming, and spaying & neutering is the only answer. We need everyone's help to keep this mission going. These pictures are just a few of the pets that we were able to help this year....
Thank you to all of you who help support the shelter in any way you can, we couldn't do this without you. ❤️🐶😺☺️

Panda is a gentle, quiet, and lazy sweetheart who just needs a little time to warm up to new people. Once he feels secure, he will show his loyal and loving side. Panda is very tidy and keeps his cage spotless and makes no messes, which strongly suggests he’s house-trained.

The most exciting part about Panda? Thanks to the training and socialization efforts of Koda's Canine Academy and our canine team, Panda has truly blossomed! As you can see in his video, he lives to be around other dogs. His playful nature shines when he's surrounded by canine companions, and he dreams of a forever home with furry friends to share his days. Whether he's romping around or lounging with his pack, Panda is happiest with buddies by his side. 🐶❤️
