Your Southside SPCA is gearing up for its annual Open House on October 22, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM!  This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, as we are introducing more of a Fall Festival feel to our event!  Our festival will feature interesting vendors, great festival foods, our famous bake sale, a booth by Tailwaggers Thrift Store, face-painting, door prizes, and more!  You can also bring your well-behaved and leashed pet to participate in our Pet Parade and Costume Contest.  We’ll have great prizes in several pet costume categories including a grand prize for the best human/pet costumed duo!!

Of course, we’ll also have tons of awesome raffle baskets filled with goodies for both pets and people.  You’re sure to find a canine, feline, or human raffle basket that you just must have!  Best of all, the highlight of any visit to our shelter will be a chance to tour the facilities and meet our wonderful residents available for adoption.
