Give a pet a forever home for the holidays

12/7/2013

Pictured with CGHS/SPCA Adoption Counselors Jhori Jurgenson, Stephanie Nedwick and Jessica Farkas are three dogs currently awaiting their forever homes. Pepper, a Pomeranian, is 6 years old and full of life. He gets along with other animals, and would prefer a home with older kids. Duke, a 4-year-old yellow Lab, has a great temperament and can’t wait for his chance at a true forever home. Molly is a 5-year-old spaniel mix with wonderful manners who gets along with all other animals and absolutely adores children. These three family-oriented pups are all hoping they’ll have the best present they could ask for — a family for Christmas!
Our CGHS/SPCA adoption staff has been in a flurry, preparing our currently homeless animal companions for much-anticipated “home for the holiday” placements. A reminder to check our website, or better yet, come on down to our Hudson shelter.

Many times it comes to pass that a dog or cat that you overlooked on the web, grabs your heart when you walk through our doors. Another reminder that our magnificent Max, almost ready for his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification in the Columbia County Jail New Leash On Life cell dog program, still eagerly awaits his forever home. I will be glad to fill you in on his awesome particulars. Remember that Max is sponsored (no adoption fee) and will go home with a free training session with me.

Let’s get back to our holiday wishes for our pets. You may have seen our posters titled “Presents for Pets.”

Here’s the scoop: each year more than 1,000 pets call the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA home, for what we hope is a short time. This year as you are shopping for gifts, please consider the many homeless animals that won’t have a home for the holidays this year.

By donating a toy to CGHS/SPCA, you’re helping our furry friends feel at home and comfortable while they wait for the most special gift; their forever home.

Our Toy Wish List Includes:

>> Kongs

>> Tennis Balls

>> Plush or Squeaker Toys

>> Dog Chew Toys

>> Rope Toys

>> Cat/Dog Treats

>> Scratching Posts

>> Cat Feathers

We welcome new or gently used toys now through Jan. 2 for the homeless cats and dogs in our care. There will be a box especially for these holiday gifts in the main office. For more information, contact Jessica at 518-828-6044 ext. 100 or [email protected]. Thank you for your support!

We especially love flexible Nylabones and Kongs of all sizes for our need-to-chew canines. All of our animals love their “soft babies.” All of our animals love their treats and biscuits — just like you and I (the treats I mean!)

Thank you all for your generosity — please consider taking a new family member (with four legs) home for the holidays!

Feel free to call us with any questions at 518-828-6044, or visit our website at www.cghs.org. Stop down and see us at 125 Humane Society Road, off Route 66 (about a mile south of the intersection with Route 9H) in Hudson. Our hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on Wednesday and Sunday. The food bank is open to any from the public in need of pet food or for those wishing to donate food anytime during business hours. All of our cats and kittens are “Furrever Free” with all expenses paid. Spay/neuter clinics for cats are $65 male or female, including a rabies vaccination and a 5-in-1 feline distemper combination vaccination. Nail clipping services are available every Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. at the shelter, no appointment necessary, for a donation of $5 for cats and $10 for dogs.
