Help Save Pets will be at the Petco in Oswego on Route 34 every second Sunday of the month showing animals and talking about adoption. We will also accept any donations you may have. If you come to the Petco this upcoming

Sunday May 9th between 11am and 3pm

there's a possibility that you'll meet your next best friend! See you there!

Someone who transports animals on the Rescue Railroad sent us a heartwarming video. Thank you to our great group of drivers who go out of their way week in and week out to get our rescued cats and dogs to us (even in the snow!). This video is for each and every person who tries so hard to save just one dog. What a beautiful story. We hope you love it as much as we did.

HPS's 1000th Adoption in 2009!
Sweet puppy Abigail went home to a family on Saturday Nov. 21st!

Special Thanks to our staff and volunteers!

This November, HSP would like to recognize some of our hard working volunteers by giving out the PERDY and KISS awards! (left to right) Donna Duckmanton, Lucy Poyser, Maggie Vandermeer, Sue Thorsen. Maggie V presents the awards to Donna D for her assistance to HSP. Donna is a groomer for the Animal Care Center and selflessly offers her skills and time to clean up some of our most neglected animals. Lucy P and Sue T are adoption counselors in Help Save Pets, but do much more. They assist in the filming of our TV show, they transport animals and participate in community events.

Thank you so much!
