The doors to the Hillside SPCA are in imminent danger of closing in the next couple weeks and, if they do close, more than 300 animals could be put to sleep as a result.
A lethal combination of a slumping economy, high insurance and workers’ compensation premiums and a rise in minimum wage has put a strain on the Hillside SPCA’s finances.
In addition to those conditions, $7,000 in unexpected repairs to pipes in its building, a recent $4,600 fuel oil delivery, several cases involving large-scale cruelty cases and rescues have hit the shelter hard. The added number of animals has also caused medication bills and costs for veterinary care to rise. . Please sign and donate if you can:

Please spare the lives of hundred's of helpless & voiceless animals. If we can't show compassion for the defenseless than how will we treat each other. The gift of life is beautiful don't destroy it!

Euthanasia is a horrible fate for our beloved animals of this earth. I am strongly against it and I was involved with a no kill shelter that would spay and neuter animals, before having them adopted, not only did this help the new pet owners know that their new member of the family wouldn't be having a family of it's own, it took off some of the expense of adopting. There has to be some way of stopping the killing of adorable animals in bad situations, foster care is one option, or a ranch for homeless animals that could be funded through all the animal agencies out there. There are government grants ou there to help with starting your own halfway house to animals with no where to go.
