-PetSmart Charities has selected the Clark County Humane Society as the newest destination shelter in the Rescue Waggin' program.PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin' program is a national transport program that networks shelters together to transport homeless dogs and puppies from communities with high pet populations and very few potential adopters to animal shelters, like Clark County Humane Society, where there are exceptional adoption programs in place and more adoption space for dogs and puppies in need of new homes.
"Clark County Humane Society has the right combination of spay and neuter resources in their community and an exceptional adoption program, enabling them to find homes quickly for pets," said Jan Wilkins, executive director for PetSmart Charities.
Currently, 79 animal shelters participate in the Rescue Waggin' program, either as a source shelter, where the puppies and dogs originate from or as a destination shelter, the final location where they have the best chance of finding their forever homes.
The Clark County Humane Society is one of only 27 animal shelters across the nation selected to participate as a destination shelter in the Rescue Waggin' program. They are now accepting transports of dogs and puppies from other Rescue Waggin' shelters.
"We're very excited to join this program," says Chuck Wegner, Executive Director for Clark County Humane Society, "We set high standards here and are delighted to be in a position to help save more lives."
Since 2004, more than 80,000 dogs and puppies have been saved through the Rescue Waggin' program. To learn more about Rescue Waggin' program, as well as other programs that PetSmart Charities supports and creates, visit www.petsmartcharities.org or call 1-800-423-PETS.
