Animal Shelter is now open
By Joyce McNally
Special to the News-Capital
The new Pittsburg County Animal Shelter is open.
What a grand place for those animals awaiting adoption. It’s clean, dry, and bright, and they have plenty of food and water.
They’re not roaming the streets trying to stay alive, or getting run over by passing cars.
Hopefully now people will not dump animals alongside the road when they don’t want them or can no longer care for them.
For those people who don’t want to have their dogs and cats spayed or neutered, I pray that you will have a change of heart when you see how many animals the shelter has taken in already.
We have a spay and neuter program in Pittsburg County that provides financial assistance for those people who qualify and I don’t understand why more people don’t take advantage of the program, sponsored by PAWS.
Without that financial assistance, these procedures can be costly, especially if you have several pets that need to be spayed or neutered.
If you are looking for a dog or cat to add to your family, there are many available at the shelter.
If you’re not sure which pet would work best for your family environment, the shelter personnel can assist you in making that decision.
It’s amazing how many purebreds end up in the shelter.
All purebreds have specific characteristics and personalities. If an owner doesn’t understand and know how to work with a particular breed, they usually get frustrated and the animal ends up in the shelter, looking for a new home.
With mixed breeds, you get loveable mutts that are the best of both worlds. Both are great, as long as you ask questions and understand the type of animal you are adopting and the responsibilities that go along with it.
Adopt, adopt!
Give those animals at the shelter a loving home and they will love you forever. I can’t mention spay and neuter enough, so if you want to provide a better quality and longer life for your pet, make that appointment.
You won’t have extra kitties and puppies to find homes for and that should make your life with your pet more enjoyable for you.
Help eliminate pet overpopulation by calling PAWS Connection at 420-7297.
