NEWS AND EVENTS HSPC Week 8/23/04Emergency can anyone bottle feed any of six little puppies whose mom just got hit by a car? Dont want to take them into the shelter, we have too many sick pups right now, and these are so vulnerable. If you can, call Kay227-6166, and let me know. We will provide all supplies, vet care, etc, and will take them in when they are adoptable.

Pizza Hut - Starting July 5, Pizza Hut will again donate 20% of sales on Monday 5-8PM to HSPC. Think of Monday as Pizza Night! This is any Pizza Hut in Pulaski County, and includes delivery!
Igive -
Another easy way to help HSPC! An organization called iGive.com.
If you sign up with them, and specify HSPC as your preferred charity, whenever you shop online at any of about 500 merchants, a percentage of your purchase goes automatically to HSPC. All you have to do is sign up. Then, at any time when you are online shopping, if you go to a participating merchant, like, say Lands End, EBAY, or Barnes and Noble, a little note will pop up and tell you what percentage is being donated. There is also a list available of merchants, so you can choose to use the ones involved. This is a great way to help HSPC, especially if you do a lot of on-line shopping!
Donations - The shelter could also use donations of the following: tools; a weed eater, and a vehicle Also, we need a PC computer with Windows 2000.
Remember to USE YOUR KROGER GIFT CARDS!! They dont help if we dont use them! And we get 5% of all purchase if you do use them.
All day, every day - help is needed walking, bathing, playing with the dogs and cats of HSPC. The more time you spend with them, the more adoptable they become. You dont need to schedule a timeif you have some time available, just come on down. Were open 11-6 every day, and until 8PM Mondays and Fridays.
