NHSPCA
in Desperate Need
Dixie Doodle
Needs a Forever Home!
Stratham NH - The New Hampshire SPCA has a record number of cats,
kittens and small furry pets that need new homes. Among them is
Dixie Doodle, a spayed female Dutch Rabbit cross, who will mark
her one year anniversary at the Adoption Center on November 1st.
The shelter is no place for an animal to live out its whole life.
The NHSPCA is holding a special Adopt-a-thon event this Friday and
Saturday, October 27th and 28th, to try to address the overpopulation
problem in its kennels. There are over 100 cats, including 15 kittens
that are in desperate need of new, loving families. The number of
animals in the kennels needs to be reduced to make room for the
over 80 that are coming back into the Adoption Center from Foster
Care. The Adopt-a-thon will be held during extended hours Friday
and Saturday from 11:00 am - 9:00 pm and applications for adopters
may be downloaded from the web site and completed ahead of time.
Adoption Center Staff hope to double the number of adoptions that
typically take place on a weekend during the upcoming Adopt-a-thon.
Visitors will enjoy special treats and have a chance to enter a
raffle while the staff and volunteers work to place 75 pets in new
homes.
People that can not help by taking home a cat, kitten, guinea pig,
ferret, rat, gerbil, rabbit or hamster can help in a very big way
by making a donation to the NHSPCA in Stratham. The shelter needs
canned kitten food, canned and dry cat food, kitty litter and towels
and blankets for bedding. The shelter is so full these days that
for the first time in a very long time even their dog and puppy
food supplies are depleted.
The New Hampshire SPCA is a community resource center that provides
animal adoption, education, investigation and sheltering services
in a professional and compassionate way. The Adoption Center is
open from 11 am - 4pm on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 11
am - 7pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and closed on Wednesday. For more
