During our renovation we are hoping to replace our scrub room bath tub as it is in pretty rough condition. If you have recently renovated and have a second hand bath tub with a left hand drain in good condition we would gratefully accept any donation of a tub. If a set of faucets accompanies the tub that would be great too. Thanks for your help!

Our friends at Petfinder kindly forwarded this to us:
Dear Petfinder,
Mom didn’t find me on Petfinder though I think it helped her get to me.
My name is Sheila, I am an 11 month old Collie/Rottweiler and I had been at the pound for 3 months before my family came to get me. I was abused and returned before mom and dad picked me up but they have given me a good home.
My first day here was fun, I got all kinds of cool stuff even a pigs ear which a gobbled down because I had thrown up my lunch on the car ride home.
Dad was unsure of me at first but Mom says I have grown on him now. He even lets me sleep on his side of the bed.
I get to go out to my friends farm, his name is Bruno. At first I was afraid but mom said he was a good boy and we quickly became friends. I get to run off leash with him at the farm and we have a great time. Mom laughs at us and thinks its great till I run through the dill patch and get covered in sticky seeds which she has to pick out.
Mom says I saved her life but I think we saved each other. I am moms Christmas miracle and she is mine.
Thank you for bringing her into my life. I hope others are able to find good homes.
Love
Sheila
Sheila was adopted from SPCA Swift Current on January 6th
Yes, that is right! We are having a “Clearance” event on all cats at the Shelter. Due to an upcoming renovation we are needing to make room. Starting today, January 10, running through to January 31 all cats going on test drive or full adoption will have all adoption fees waived. If you are thinking about adding to your family, come out and meet our fantastic felines. All adoptions include the spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations including rabies and all cats have been dewormed. For a $10 fee you may have your new cat microchipped with registration included. And remember, all cat and kitten adoption fees are waived only until January 31! Hope to see you soon!
“The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and good name, may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has he may lose. It files away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives his master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even unto death.”
