The Swift Current SPCA have had their hands full, as two litters of puppies recently arrived at the local shelter. 

The first five new arrivals to make an appearance were 18-week-old Great Pyrenees/Retriever puppies that were surrendered in order to find them a permanent home. 

Hi everyone, we would like to re-introduce you to Charlie.

Charlie is a sweet 12-year-old boy. As you can see, Charlie is very grumpy thinking about how no one has wanted to adopt him for over a year!!

The Saskatchewan prairies are a gold mine for farmers, accounting for more than 40 per cent of Canada's cultivated farmland. 

With such a high portion of the province working in the farming industry, it is essential that support be readily and easily available for farmers in need. 

One service offering support to farmers in the province is the Farm Stress Line, which is Administered and delivered by Mobile Crisis Services with funding from the Ministry of Agriculture. 

Executive Director of Mobile Crisis Services, Jan Thorson, provided insight on the service. 

Residents may notice a large flame present on the north side of Swift Current today and tomorrow, as SaskEnergy conducts a controlled natural gas flare. 

The flare will take place at the Swift Current Town Border Station #1, which is located to the north of the intersection at Central Avenue North and Battleford Trail. 

Peter L'Heureux, Deputy Fire Chief with the Swift Current Fire Department, provided some insight on what residents can expect.

Meet Sunny!

Sunny is fairly new to the shelter so while we are still getting to know him, one thing is for certain - he would be the most amazing addition to any family. 

He’s great with dogs, cats and kids. He’s extremely loveable and loves attention! He’s a very easy going boy! 

Sunny is up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered! 

If you’re interested in this big, beautiful boy, call the shelter for more information, or stop in anytime to meet him!
