Going…Going…Gone. SSP Calendars Still Remain
There are still a few Saving Shelter Pets, Inc., 2010 calendars up for grabs. At the last update, there were only 48 left. They are being offered at a discounted rate to help you get these wagging tails into your home. The first calendar is $12.00, the second is $11.00, and if you purchase three, the third is $10.00 Not only do the calendars help out a great cause immediately and financially, they raise awareness throughout the year.
All of the pets pictured were either rescued from a highkill shelter when their time was “up,” or were rescued through the Puppy Promises program.
Q: What is a Puppy Promises Puppy?
A: A Puppy Promises puppy is a lucky pup who has been enrolled in the Puppy Promises program.
The puppies are intercepted from being dumped at the shelter, sometimes even at the shelter door! Their owners are given another option. If they will quarantine the pups at home for another two weeks, SSP will give them their shots on the spot. In two or three weeks, pending they are deemed healthy by a vet, they will be transported to a reputable rescue where a family is waiting to adopt them.
As for “mom dog,” she gets spayed after the pups are well on their way so that there are no more accidental litters. What’s more, is that all the other adult dogs and cats at the house are spayed or neutered by SSP as well. It was noticed that the same last names and addresses would come up, and is more proactive to spay everyone than hope there will not be another litter. Some of these families take good care of their pets, but just cannot financially handle a litter of puppies or are not allowed to have so many, and feel powerless. On the other hand, many other families do not care what happens to the pups, but have been convinced to give Puppy Promises a try instead of the alternative (dumping pups at the shelter, drowning, leaving them to fend for themselves).
It costs $50 per puppy to save them. This includes, but is not limited to:
Age appropriate vaccinations
Transport to rescue
The Spay of the mother dog and other family members
