eBay Store Helps SSHS |
| Got an item collecting dust that might be of value on eBay? We've hooked up with our friends at What's it Worth (New location: at Meyda Tiffany Lighting, 55 Oriskany Blvd., Yorkville) to have some fun and help us out at the same time. If you have an item (examples: artwork, collectibles-dolls, plates, glassware & china, jewelry, cameras, computers(less than 3 yrs old)- items no more than 75 lbs and an estimated worth of $50), Marc Smith and his staff at the store can help you sell the item on eBay AND you can determine how much of the sale price you'd like to donate to the shelter! Call Marc at 768-2777 for more information.

Make the Call to Animal Control for Strays |
| Throughout the year, the Stevens-Swan Humane Society sees thousands of stray animals come through its doors. Some are brought in by good Samaritans, but the vast majority is picked up by local animal control officers.
The Stevens-Swan Humane Society does not have the authority to pick up stray or injured animals. Every day concerned citizens call us for assistance and we refer them to their local animal control officer, or ACO. People should include their local ACO’s number on their emergency list; if you don’t have the number handy, call your city, town or village clerk and they will be able to supply it. These individuals are law-enforcement officers that are specially trained to deal with stray, injured and lost pets.
Some of the most commonly needed animal control numbers are:
• Utica – 735-3301
• New Hartford, Clinton and Kirkland – 733-6666
• Marcy & Deerfield - 865-6615
Bridgewater, Paris & Sauquoit - 822-6921
Town of Schuyler - 866-0241
