Our Featured Pets....
I'm a really small Shepard mix; and, I've had things pretty tough. My foster mom took me in when I was just hours away from death. I was severely malnurished; and, I had infected, bleeding, mange sores over about 80% of my body. I was one VERY sick puppy!... I'm all better now, though; and, my hair has even grown back now!!! I'm housetrained, at least when I have a doggie door. I'm a really sweet young lady, I'm just really lonely from having been stuck in a quarantine pen while my foster brothers and sisters got to run and play. I have short hair; and, I crave company; so, I need parents that will let me sleep inside; and, be a member of the family. IF someone is big hearted enough to also adopt my brother Buddy, I'd really like it. We're very close; and, he looks out for me. Click on my pic to read more about me.....
Bubba is a 11 month old Domestic Shorthair male and has always been the biggest, strongest kitten of the litter. He loves to play and is constantly on the run playing with his toys. He is black with white on his chest, hair inside of ears is white, and he looks like he has a white bikini on his lower belly which makes him rather cute. He loves to be held, play and interact with his humans and usually where ever you are he is there keeping you company. He is litter trained, neutered, had his shots, and is ready for a good inside home with lots of attention.
SPAR would like anyone who has a good dog house they are not using to consider donating it to SPAR as we are running short on shelters for the pets. Wire pet crates and Pet Taxi's are also greatly appreciated.
SPAR has several puppies, Bubba (above) and other kittens ready for adoption. They are healthy and playful and ready for a new family. All have have their shots, are on flea/tick/parasite medication and are or will be spayed/neutered at the correct age. Please consider adopting a rescued pet.
In the past 3 years, more than 300 animals have been rescued, received vet care and been placed in homes, said Roberta Wortham, President of SPAR. Members of S.P.A.R. are also working with the city of Shawnee to establish a related group, the Animal Rescue Center (ARC). Plans are to build a new facility next to the Shawnee Animal Shelter where animals can live if they've not been adopted. This will designate the city's shelter as a "no kill" shelter, Wortham said. Currently, unadopted animals are euthanized each week, she said. The Animal Rescue Center's new website is @: www.arcshawnee.org
Behavior problems account for the leading cause of owner relinquishment of pets and resulting euthanasia - we all know it and numerous studies confirm it. Often pet parents just need some help in dealing with the issues they are facing. PETVIDEO.COM can help.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Bayer Animal Health, Shawnee, Kansas, SPAR has received a free one-year supply of "TRAINING YOUR ADOPTED DOG" and "YOUR ADOPTED CAT" DVDs for all of our dog and cat adopters (Only about 300 organizations were selected.)
