In 2009, Mitchell Animal Rescue helped save the lives of almost 250 pets! We rely solely on donations. Please use the botton above to donate to help the homeless pets we are trying to save. We are a 501c3 non-profit so your donation is deductible. Thank you!  Performance Pet Products has generously donated several pallets of canned dog and cat food to our cause. We have started a food bank and the Salvation Army will give this pet food to needy people that need help feeding their pets. Same restrictions will apply to the pet food bank as do to the food pantry. If you apply and qualify for the SNIP program, you will also qualify for pet food. You can also pick up pet food at the James Valley Community Center, 300 E 1st, Mitchell, SD. We are an official 501c3 non profit organization, not to be confused with any other local rescue. SNIP is a program to assist needy people with the expense of spaying or neutering their pets. To see if you qualify, request an application by emailing us at mitchellanimalrescue@yahoo.com or calling Kathie at 999-2524.

Does your dog have behavior issues? Tom Gunlicks, dog behaviorist, will be coming to Mitchell on February 27th for a one day seminar. Morning will be spent on lecture and discussion, lunch will be served, and the afternoon will be dedicated to interaction with your dogs on a variety of issues. We have set the date for the Mitchell Animal Flea Market. It will be held May 1st and May 2nd at the Highland Mall. If you have any items you'd like to donate, call 605-770-2170. We will pick up the items if you can't deliver them. Plan to come and see all the donated items we will have there. If anyone would like to donate to help take care of the Kirkpatricks' puppies that are now at the Sioux Falls Humane Society, please visit their website. You can donate online or send a check. They need some medical attention before they can be adopted out. 1-14-09 lm On December 31st, 2009, live racing will cease at Dairyland Greyhound Park bringing the end of an era to Wisconsin dog tracks. Our strategic plan is to step up our efforts of public awareness through media coverage and special events to educate the public about what great pets greyhounds can make when their racing careers are completed. With that awareness, our hope is to generate more adoption applications than we normally receive this time of year, in order to place more greyhounds into loving homes. Mitchell Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization that recently celebrated its one year anniversary. Unfortunately, with tough economic times and multiple puppy and kitten births, we are rescuing more pets than expected. So far in 2009 we have rescued almost 250 dogs and cats from euthanization.
We are willing to trap feral cats if you know of any farmers that would like cats for mousers. Contact us either by email or phone.
Mitchell has a leash law that requires ALL pets to be on a leash when off your personal property. With the weather improving, it is sometimes tempting to let your pet out to do his or her business without a leash because he or she has never left your property before. It only takes one time and in the blink of an eye they are gone. Not only does this violate the leash law, but it is NOT SAFE for your pet. They don't know to stay off the streets or to avoid cars or other animals. PLEASE keep your pets on a leash or in a fenced in yard, not only for their safety, but to prevent unwanted litters. Please be responsible pet owners - think of them when you let them out the door. |
