Caring for all helpless, homeless pets
2006 News
All companion pets, equine and Barnyard buddies are received as space and volunteers permit. We receive stray and owner surrender pets from local/county animal control/law enforcement agencies, neighbors, business referrals, local safe house/crisis centers as space permits.We are a no-kill facility and receive animals first come-first serve. We depend on adoptions to free up a space for another homeless, helpless pet. We need temporary foster homes to allow us to save additional lives.
Campbell Center rescue shelter and sancturary is unique in that we have 13 acres of land to develop for the animals with exercise areas and trails for people and critters in care.
The average census for equine and/or barnyard buddies is 15-18 animals. Our canine and feline census can run anywhere from 20 - 35 at any given time. They are provided for 24-7 by on-site management . Most pets easily socialize and mingle with permanent and family pets. Direct animal care costs average $1,500. per month. Additional costs include routine vaccinations, spay/neuter, worming, veterinary care and winter supplements and higher costs of supplies, hay, feed etc.
We currently receive no assistance from local or state government and depend solely on private donations, fund raising events and available grants.

Who We Are and our location
Silver Creek Regional Humane Society was organized and incorporated in Snowflake, Arizona in 2001. We serve northern Navajo County, western Apache County and, on request, nearby Native American reservations. We are in the Northeastern "4 corners region" of Arizona. We are approximately a one hour drive West of Gallup N. M. Our goal was to receive a donation of land to establish a rescue shelter. Campbell Center, 4 miles W. of St. Johns, Az. off Rt. 61 at Cedar Road was given to our society in June, 2004, by the Dave Campbell family.
We provide vaccination/microchip/adoption clinics in different locations between Navajo and Apache counties. Toe nail trims and free humane society ID tags are also available at all clinics.
We are a member of Very Best Pet Network, sponsored by Purina and the American Humane Association and partner with Wal*Mart SuperCenter, Show Low, AZ. We recently received a special recognition award of $1,000.00 for our adoption and promotionefforts in 2005. In addition, WalMart and Purina provide us with animal products for our shelter animals.
We recently opened Executive and Volunteer offices in Springerville, Az. The building also houses our newest venture, "Waggin Tails" Bargain store. We are hoping this unique antique, craft items and materials, new and nearly new store will bring the funds to remodel existing structures for the start of our indoor shelter building project at Campbell Center and, along with other potential funding, will establish a spay-neuter clinic at the "Waggin Tails" facility.

**** ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS
All our pets have a receiving file where information is maintained to the best of our ablility. We provide as much information to potential adopters as possible.
To qualify for pet adoption, we require a photo of where the pet pal will live and sleep. Dogs are not permitted to ride in an open bed pick-up without being in a kennel or safely tied so they cannot reach the side or back of bed (and possibly fall out). All cats are strictly indoor pets. We do not adopt out barn cats or outdoor cats. Pet must be part of family life and be able to spend most of the time inside. We do not allow a dog to live its life at the end of a chain or in a kennel. There must be adequate room for daily exercise.
All equine must have a secure fence (non-barbed) and a covered 3-sided windbreak shelter.
Dog adoption fees: $60.00.
When inquiring, ask about our special rates for special pets and pasture pals.
Cat adoptions $40.00.
All incoming pets are vaccinated and observed for 10 days. Pups and kittens are in medical quarantine to observe for possible illness.
The fee includes first 5-way vaccination, worming, as necessary, physical, and spay/neuter. If, for some reason the pet has not been altered, we will refund the adopter or veterinarian up to $15.00, with proof of spay or neuter. (A discounted adoption fee may be substituted for unaltered pets and the $15.00 refund waived in certain cases)
Horses/donkeys/mules average@ $150.00 - $600.00, depending on age, physical ability and health or medical problems. Many have come from abusive or neglect situations and require patience and/or rehabilitation.
Adoption fees may vary for animals that have required extensive veterinary/special needs care or been in shelter care for an extended length of time.
