New Hampshire SPCA sending animals Home 4 the Holidays

Stratham, NH-The New Hampshire SPCA is in search of a few good owners for their four-legged residents. NHSPCA has joined efforts with 2,000 shelters around the world to host the annual Iams Home 4 the Holidays adoption campaign organized by The Iams Company and Helen Woodward Animal Center. Beginning on November 7th the NHSPCA set a goal of finding new homes for 400 animals. As of today, the Adoption Center only needs to find 75 more homes to meet the goal by January 2, 2006.

The Iams Home 4 the Holidays campaign was established to raise awareness of the joys of owning
shelter-adopted pets. Last year over 313,000 orphaned animals were matched with loving families. The event's goal for 2005 is to link more than 350,000 dogs, cats, kittens and other companion pets with loving, adoptive families.

Those interested in adopting a pet can visit the Adoption Center at 104 Portsmouth Avenue, Stratham, NH. The center will be closed December 24th and 25th for the holiday but will resume normal hours next week.
The New Hampshire SPCA is a community resource center which provides animal adoption, education, investigation and sheltering services in a professional and compassionate way. The Adoption Center is open from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and closed on Wednesday. For more information please call (603) 772-2921 or visit www.nhspca.org.
