In Honor of National Disabled Pet Day, we recognize our Pockets!
In Honor of National Disabled Pets Day, we think of our Pockets, who is waiting for his forever home. He came to us malnourished, dehydrated and dragging a useless leg he had no doubt been dealing with for quite sometime. He had to have his leg amputated but he didn't lose his spirit or love of life and play. We don't know if he has ever had the security and joy of his own home, we just know he deserves it and is perfection on three legs! Love ya Pockets!
PET CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.. FREE WAY YOU CAN HELP: Following is a message from Morris Animal Foundation and Blue Bufflao about a way you can help stop/find a cure for cancer in pets. It costs you nothing but the payoff is priceless. Thank you on behalf of the voiceless. Please share, only takes 30 seconds of your time:
Millions of pets will develop cancer during their lifetimes. An estimated 50 percent of pets will die of this disease, and often the causes are unknown. Morris Animal Foundation and Blue Buffalo have partnered to end this disease and give hope to animals and those who love them.
In honor of Pet Cancer Awareness Month in May, Blue Buffalo will donate $1 to Morris Animal Foundation for every person who pledges and watches our video—up to $25,000.
Morris Animal Foundation will use this generous donation to help fund critical research into preventing, treating and curing cancer and other diseases in pets and wildlife. Over our history, we’ve already invested nearly $14 million in cancer research for animals. Those studies have led to better diagnostics and treatments, but we can’t stop funding cancer research until cancer stops taking the lives of the pets we all love.
Please join us. Simply watch the video at Causes.com and then share it with others who love animals.
Together, we can end pet cancer and create a brighter, cancer-free future for animals

BAM BAM - A DREAM DOG FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE!
BAM BAM MADE THE COVER OF THE APRIL EDITION OF HAPPY TAILS MAGAZINE! ATTENTION RUNNERS: BAMBAM IS A DOG FOR YOU!
Bam Bam is a gorgeous and athletic Red Heeler mix. He is a VERY high-energy dog and as such can be easily distracted as he likes to "work." However, when he goes for a hike in the woods, he does great. Take him for a run, and he does even better! Like to bike, he will run beside you! Once his energy is spent, Bam Bam's peaceful and loving spirit emerges. Please bring this loyal dog home with you today!

Be a "tree sponsor"
SPECIAL SPONSOR NEEDED: Look at the wonderful cat tree we found for our kitties! As you know, being a non-profit we have to S T R E T C H a buck, and we found this great tree for $98 with free shipping. It is important that our rescue animals get exercise and are socialized and are as happy as can be until they find their forever home, so we ordered this tree to help our cats! Would anyone like to sponsor the costs of our tree? If so, we would like to have you come by for a picture with the kitties in the tree and have you named and recognized in our cat room!
We are always looking for ways to make improvements so the SPCA of the Triad is a special place for deserving animals who just need a chance at life, and a place where you can visit and meet your next best friend! Thank you to all who have helped our kitties with their tree. They so love it and enjoy the exercise! |

Greg and "lap dog" Crusoe, the face of forgiveness
Crusoe has been with us for a while and really needs a kind, loving home. His story had a very sad beginning, as can be seen by the scars, perhaps from burns, on his back, but look how forgiving he is now. Greg has spent a lot of time with Crusoe and just like any dog, he responded with love and trust. He never asked to be abused! Many thanks to the volunteers who have also worked with Crusoe helping him learn to walk on a leash and socializing him. This dog who lived a life of abuse attended a Christmas event this year, Santa Paws, with lots of other dogs and people, and loved everyone! He has also been the Pet of the Week on WFMY-TV and has attended pet fairs at Petco. Can you make his story have a happy ending? Can you show him that people are good and he deserves nothing but a good life? We love Crusoe very much and just want this kind of life for him. If you really want to see a now-happy dog, Crusoe will leap in Greg's arms when he sees him - yes, when Greg is standing!! This is what forgiveness looks like.. a brown dog, wrongly judged as a bully, who has overcome cruelty most of us will never know. Please consider giving Crusoe a second chance.

WORLD SPAY DAY WAS FEBRUARY 26, 2013 - Please, let's make everyday "World Spay Day!"
According to The Humane Society of the United States, three to four million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters every year simply because there aren’t enough homes. In addition to homeless animals, there are many health risks associated with unneutered/unspayed animals as well as a shortened lifespan. Please spread the word about the importance of spay/neuter, as education is the key to helping the quality of life for our voiceless. In honor of World Spay Day, please sponsor a spay or neuter surgery for one cat or dog. Spay/neuter is the best and most cost-effective way of reducing the vast number of animals whose lives are ended prematurely each year in shelters and on the streets, simply because there aren’t enough homes for them all. Let's make everyday "world spay day." Let the SPCA help you find low cost spay/neuter options! Call us today at 336-375-3222.

Our Little Ida Bean takes a road trip
If you have been to the center, you have met dear Ida Bean our little elderly resident! She was found, full of fatty tumors, wandering down the road and some kind folks brought her to us. She is probably about 12 or 13 years old, so we decided to make her remaining life as happy and comfortable for her as we could! In turn she has made us all fall in love with her. She paddles along slowly now and her eyesight has diminished some, but she still enjoys life and gets regular vet care to make sure she is maintaining a good quality of life. Our animals love us and are devoted and ever faithful to us, and when they get older they may need extra care and patience, but they deserve it after years of loving us no matter who else does or does not! IdaBean is pictured here as co-pilot after going along to pick up Tyler at the vet! She so enjoys car rides, she loves to sit in the sun, and she still keeps a close check on the cats and kittens and other dogs who run by her room. We love Ida Bean, she is such a grand old lady, and she continues teaching us all how to age gracefully.
