Pooch Pool Party
City schedules dog swim events! Pet owners once again will be allowed to take their canines doggy dipping in the sixth annual pooch paddle event. Dogs will be allowed to swim in the pools only after they have been closed to the public for the season. The water from the pools will be drained after the dogs have taken their dips.

This will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 7th for the smaller pooches and Wednesday, September 8th for the biger dogs, at Riverside Aquatic Center. The cost is $5.00 per dog with the proceeds going to improvements at the Lewis & Clark Dog Park in Bacon Creek Park. Last year there were over 100 dogs at both pools and everything went smoothly. Plan to attend this great year end pooch pool party!

Pets On Parade
Come and join us for a day of fun in the sun with your four-legged friend at our annual pet walk. This is your chance to have a great time and raise some much-needed funds for the Shelter at the same time! Pick up your pledge packet and ask your co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc., to sponsor you in the walk. Better yet, ask your co-workers or fellow animals lovers to form a team called a dog pack. If you raise $500 or more as a team you qualify as a dog pack and will enjoy the prizes and benefits that dog packs receive. Remember, you don't have to bring an animal to participate. You can just bring yourself and enjoy the wide array of animals in attendance. After the walk you can sit back, relax, and enjoy our fun-filled pet contests. Enter your talented pooch or enjoy the antics of the many participants. There will also be pet agility demonstrations, food, pet-related booths, and lots of great things to keep everyone in the family entertained. It will be held at the Anderson Dance Pavilion and promises to be a doggone great time! To get your pledge packet stop in at the Shelter at 1015 Tri-View Avenue or your vets office starting in July.

Adopt A Shelter Dog Month
October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month. The Siouxland Humane Society joins in this month long celebration to bring attention to the wonderful dogs and puppies available for adoption at our Shelter. Millions of dogs are euthanized every year across the country because there are not enough loving homes. This is why American Humanes Adopt-A-Dog Month was established. Celebrated every October, the tradition promotes dog adoptions from shelters and provides an opportunity to teach the public how to care for their pets responsibly. Improve your life with a dogs companionship, and support these voiceless creatures. We need new homes for the dogs and puppies at our Shelter! Adopt a pet, save a life!

Adopt-A-Senior- Pet Month
This may be an excellent time to put some balance in your life and adopt a senior pet. Senior pets can and do bond very strongly with adopters. Many seem to understand they have been given another chance at a happy life and are grateful for the opportunity to love someone and be loved in return. They like to share quiet moments, are already trained and don't chew or scratch everything in sight. Instead of passing by them in the Shelter, stop for a cuddle and you may find the most wonderful companion possible!

Nov 07 - Nov 13
