We Were Here Then & Are Here Now
|
|
It's time for your history lesson of the week! Did you know teabags were created in 1904? At that time, they were small, hand-sewn bags filled with loose tea, but they were still not really marketed commercially until 1908.
Did you know that 2 years BEFORE tea bags were even invented, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton was established? That's right, since 1902, we've been here helping animals and people in the Miami Valley. We were here for you then and will continue to be here for you for another 116 years!
Thank you for your support and love through the years! Learn more by visiting

What Makes Her Special -
Sassy, as we lovingly call her, is peppy enough to spend time playing or going on a nice long walk, but calm enough to just hang out and relax! Plus, she is part of our START program with
Dayton Dog Training Club
and is learning basic commands! She loves belly rubs and lots of kisses. She is this month's
River Valley Credit Union
Pet of the Month, and we want March to be her lucky month! Can you help her find a forever home?

TNR Making an Impact in Community
|
|
In February, we're happy to report that 41 stray cats were spayed/neutered through our Trap-Neuter-Return program. To give some perspective, because these 41 cats were fixed, in 5 years time
we are preventing an estimated 10,913 cats
from being born homeless in Dayton! For more info on how you can get involved with this program, visit
www.hsdayton.org/volunteer
