This isn't any ordinary Saturday at HSCI. Nationally, adoption at shelters will be promoted the first week of May. Our celebration is on Saturday, May 10, from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm, at our Pet Adoption Center. See the Calendar of Events for details. We are looking for volunteers to help out on Saturday. Here is a listing of activities. If interested and available, email staff@hscipets.org. Let's find our pets great homes! There will be a Bake Sale on Saturday, May 10, at Lowe's from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. Have sweets for Mother's Day without being in the kitchen. Stop by for our always popular bake sale. It's also a great opportunity to buy your plants in Lowe's Garden Shop. Spring Raffle tickets will be available at the bake sale until 1:30 pm. See the Calendar of Events for details. We've brought back our Raffle!  Tickets are only $1 each, and you could win $250!  Proceeds from this raffle will be used to offset spay/neuter expenses. With spring, pet overpopulation is obvious. Spay/neuter has the most impact on improving the welfare of local pets. Sold tickets with payment should be returned Wednesday, May 7 (if mail) or dropped off to the Pet Adoption Center before May 10 at 2:00 pm. See the Calendar of Events for details. Full-time Adoption Counselor Opening Available HSCI has an immediate full-time position open for an Adoption Counselor.

HSCI is currently running low on some supplies. Any help would be appreciated! paper towels 2 or 5 gallon garbage bags copy paper gas gift cards would be welcome for investigations Please visit our Calendar of Events for the entire list of events that are scheduled! Adoption Fee Changes After careful consideration, HSCI has found it necessary to change our adoption fees. Prior to the change, our adoption fees had been in place since May 2004. Since that time we have experienced higher costs in just about every area, including medical expenses, utilities, payroll, and more. Our adoption fees have always been lower than our pet care costs. This is an intentional decision as the Board of Directors realize adoption fees need to be reasonable to adopters. The adoption fee change went into effect on March 17, 2008. Visit the Adoption Fee Changes webpage for details. Please help HSCI help the pets by becoming a member or renewing your membership in 2008. If you prefer to join online, visit our membership webpage, or you can print a membership form and mail it in! Would you like to help a homeless pet but cannot adopt a pet at this time? Or perhaps you cannot adopt another pet as the case may be for some of you. Through our online Pet Sponsorship program you can help us provide food, care, and housing for a pet while they wait for their forever loving home. Please visit the Pet Sponsorship webpage for details on how you can sponsor a pet.
