Last months Adoptions & Newbies
The month of December has been amazing for adoptions.  Though most rescues will choose not adopt out animals in December, we choose to.  This is because we have never had a December adoption result in a returned rescue animal.  For this reason, we see no need to shut down during the Christmas season.  We do however encourage the public to make the decision to adopt as a family and not surprise anyone with a pet.  The person who signs the adoption contract is the legal owner and is the one claiming responsability for the pet.
December’s adoptions are as follows:
Bruno - male fox terrier cross dog
Josie - female grey/white DSH kitten
Tiny - male Siamese cat
Reine - female DLH calico kitten
Jackie - female grey DMH kitten
G. Wilikers - male black DSH kitten
Jackson - male Husky/Black Lab
Rascal - male senior Cocker Spanial/Poodle
Twiggy - female Staffordshire Bull Terrier
December’s newbies are as follows:
Jax - male lab cross older pup
Twiggy - female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

2010’s 2010 With $10

I’m sure some of you have already been thinking about your New Year’s resolution.
If not, maybe you could take a moment and think about this.  Here’s a great inexpensive way to help out our furry friends and receive a tax receipt at the end of the year for saving lives.

2010’s 2010 with $10

As we stand on the threshold of a new year,

we would like to introduce to you

the 2010’s 2010 with $10 concept.

Simply put, we are looking for 2010 people

who are willing to commit to a monthly

automatically withdrawn donation of $10.

It’s a small commitment

that will help save so many precous lives,

as that would mean $20,100

we could count on coming in each month.

We could buy a piece of land, build a facility,

pay off our vet bill, offer free spays/neuters,

and so much more!

That would just be an absolute dream-come-true!

And will help this cause so much.

Please join us in this amazing dream.

So many lives are counting on you.

If you wish to learn more before joining this amazing challenge,please call us at 326-1274 or email funds@steinbachhumanesociety.com

Emergency Foster Homes Needed

The SHS is working on starting up a new program to take in pets in emergency cases, and we need your holp.  These cases will be things like domestic violance, savere allergies and animal abuse.  We will need foster homes for these ainimals on short notice.  If you have room in your heart and home for even one of these precous lives, you will be a hero.  Can you imagine how many lives we could save if everyone who could, would take in one foster pet?!  That would be amazing!!!  If you wish to foster a one of these pets, contact lisa@steinbachhumanesociety.com or call 326-1274.

Too many times, it’s cases like these that end in tregedy.  Either the owners are forced to put the animal down, or a vitum of domestic violence is forced to stay in that situation because they are unable tofind a temparary home for their precous pet.  We need to step in and help now, before it’s too late.  Can we count on you?

Rescue Conections

We are often asked if we are connected with other rescue groups.  The answer is yes.  We have a good relationship with many rescue groups - mainly DArcy’s A.R.C. and Pembina Valley Humane Society, but we are not affiliated with any of these other rescue group.  As well, since we are a Humane Society, people often assume that we are a kill shelter.  This is not the case.  We are a pro-life rescue.  In fact, we were the very first pro-life rescue in Manitoba, and we are very proud of that fact.

Hopefully this answers the main questions we are presantly being asked.  We thank you for your time and support and wish you a wonderful day.

Tax Receipts For Donations

We are very pleased to announce that tax receipts are available for monetay donations. Thanks for Darcy founder and President of D’Arcy’s ARC (registered charity) in Winnipeg, who has taken us under his wing.  He has mentored us and supported the SHS from the beginning, and now has taken his kindness toa whole new level.  If you wish to make a donation to the Steinbach Humane Society, you are now able to recieve a tax receipt.  Simply write out your check to D’arcy’s ARC and attach a note saying that you with the donation to go the the Steinbach Humane Society.  Darcy will then issue you a receipt and pass the donation on to us, so that we are able to save many more lives.  Thank you Darcy, and thank you to all of you who will now be donating.  This is a dream come true!!!
