Want to be a Superhero?

You can save the day for a homeless dog - and find a faithful companion who will be at your side for all of life's adventures - by adopting a dog from the Hill Country SPCA during American Humane's Adopt-A-Dog Month in October.  It's the perfect time to visit the shelter, meet potential sidekicks and discover how much fun and happiness a dog can add to your life.

Companionship, improved physical and emotional health, social interaction and devoted love are just a few of the super-size benefits of having a dog.  Dogs also encourage people to exercise, enhance family and social relationships, promote laughter and act as a non-judgemental audience and sounding board.

"Adopting a dog from your local shelter is a simple, yet heroic deed," said American Humane President and CEO Marie Belew Wheatley.  "By providing a home to an animal that didn't have one, you can help reduce the regrettably high number of homeless pets in this country.  And you'll be rewarded in so many ways, as you experience the joy of building an invincible bond with a loving and faithful companion".

Millions of people across the country are already enjoying the many rewards of dog companionship.  According to the 2009-2010 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Association, more the 45 million households in the United States have at least one dog.

The Hill Country SPCA is active not just during Adopt-A-Dog Month, but throughout the year, promoting the creation of strong, mutually rewarding relationships between people and potential canine companions.

The Hill Country SPCA is dedicated to helping animals in need, so when they received a call from Mason Animal Control desperately trying to find homes for their overwhelming number of dogs before they had to be euthanized, the Hill Country SPCA stepped in and helped, taking in 7 friendly pooches  in all shapes and sizes, who were in need of a second chance! 

One of these dogs is Oma, a girl in need of a second chance.  She is a 14 year old Shi-Tzu mix who was found wandering around full of stickers, her coat was severely matted, she could barely see and was very disoriented. She has since gotten a much needed hair cut, dental work, eye exam, and has been spayed and received all of her shots!  She is a very happy old girl who would love to live out the rest of her days in a loving home!

Come see these dogs and the rest of the pack over at the Hill Country SPCA!
