Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) Presentation

Please come join us for a presentation about how to involve more adopted pit bull type dogs into animal-assisted therapy in a variety of settings. Learn about the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification program and meet the therapy team of April and her pit bull terrier Piggy, who uses a cart for mobility. They will give some demonstrations of how handling teams can work together in a therapeutic setting and help the lives of both people and animals. See our news and events page for more details.

When: Thursday, February 18th - 6:00pm to 7:30pm

Where: SLCAS Shelter, 511 W. 3900 S. Auditorium

 

Extreme Cold Alert

With the nighttime temperature dropping into the twenties and below, we are concerned about the welfare of animals placed in our overnight drop boxes. If the temperature is predicted to fall below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, the drop boxes will be locked and unavailable. If possible, we'd like to ask you to hold onto the animal until morning and bring it into the shelter after we open. If it's not possible to hold the animal, please call the Sheriff's Office dispatch at 801-743-7045 for instructions.

 

'The Pit Stop' Retail Store Now Open!

We carry a number of basic items including collars, leashes, litter, and to really impress your pet - great toys. All of our prices are even dollar amounts with the tax already figured in, so it's easy to shop. All proceeds help the shelter, so you can get something nice for your pet and help save other animals at the same time. We hope to see you there!
