A few comments from your volunteer Web Site Manager:
This web page is the property of the St. Lawrence Valley SPCA and is managed by volunteers, as are most functions at the Shelter. It is accurate to the best of the site manager’s abilities and there can be no guarantee of accuracy or availability of any animal for adoption. All materials and photographs are copyright of either the SPCA shelter or the volunteer web site manager. Other copyrights are the property of the respective copyright holders.
Adoptions are on a first come first serve basis so it is possible for animals depicted as available to have been adopted or otherwise removed from the shelter but may or may not be depicted on this web site.
Updates are done weekly whenever possible. Photographs are taken each Saturday and the goal is to have the web site animal pictures updated by the following Monday or earlier.
The most active portion of the site is the Adoption Photos area where photographs of the animals available for adoption are shown. Every effort is made to update those pages weekly.
Other areas of the site change less often and depend on my having the time and information required to do so Anyone may submit information for inclusion on this web site and in fact are encouraged to do so. Contributions might include poems, stories, little known facts, opinions; most anything acceptable and relevant to the web site’s purpose. Contributors do receive credit for their contributions.
Most pages have a “Last update” note near the top of the page which shows the date the page was last updated. Those dates are automated and occur EVERY time a page is reuploaded, even if the change isn’t easily visible, which will happen occasionally to correct data or spelling, etc..
These pages may use Java scripts but it is NOT required to fully enjoy the web site. Every effort is made to ensure that the pages are fully viewable by those without, or who do not run, Javascripts.
Java script is mostly used to enhance site navigation, enabling visitors to bypass interim pages and go directly to pages of interest.
For example, if you click on “Adoptions”, it will take you to a page where you can choose to view either Cats or Dogs. But, if the viewer has javascript enabled, when they hover their mouse over “Adoptions”, a flyout will appear which allows them to go directly to Cats, or Dogs, and bypass the interim page where they must make a choice.
Anyone who has any problems with any pages or functions on this web site is invited to contact me and let me know about it so that I can correct the situation. Just click the Contact Us graphic in the left hand margin to access the e-mail forms.
Should you notice bad links or any other problems please consider letting the web site manage know by using the Contact Us graphic link in the left margin.
Attempts have been made to make these pages viewable on as wide a range of browsers as possible and in general I have tried to make them ADA compliant at least with respect to reading links and text.
If a viewer is color blind and has trouble navigating this site, again, we would be happy to attempt to take care of that situation; please let us know. Use the Contact Us link in the left margin.
Lastly, your Web Site Manager is death on spam of any type and privacy is of the utmost importance! NO information will ever be provided to any other party for any reason without specific permission from the person involved. We do not collect, share or otherwise distribute ANY information of any kind about anyone for any reason and any personal information is NOT kept on the web site except as mentioned in the preceding sentence. We do not collect or keep E-mail addresses any longer than necessary to contact the mailer if it’s needed. Any addresses which are kept, are NOT stored online.
There are two types of the quarterly newsletter available: One is by e-mail, which is preferable, and the other is by standard mailing via the post office. To sign up for the e-mail newsletter, please click HERE. To request the postal version of the newsletter, please call or ask at the shelter during regular hours.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far, and I hope you will enjoy your visits! Come back often, and again, we love to hear from our visitors! Remember, your Perfect Pet could well be waiting for you right here!
Your volunteer Web Site Manager,
Tom
