The Scoop - July 2021

JULY 2021

Friends make life a little sweeter...we're talking about our partners of course! This month is all about teaming up to help pets. From finding homes with Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters adoption event, to earning Tips for Change with Gianni's Italian Bistro, to keeping pets supported at home as we Fill the Food Banks with Pet Food Express, the buddy system is best.

Maybe you can team up, too! We're looking for cat care volunteers to help with specific shifts. There's plenty to get involved, so take your pick and spend summer with a smile!

Empty the Shelters

Join Valley Humane Society as we team up with Bissell Pet Foundation to Empty the Shelters, July 7-10. All adoption fees will be reduced to just $25 to help our furry friends find loving forever homes, thanks to Bissell Pet Foundation! Adoptions are conducted by appointment only (no walkins), so applications must be submitted by July 9 for pre-approval and scheduling. Standard adoption criteria apply. View adoptable dogs and cats and apply online from any pet profile today!

Wednesday Workshop Series

Create some fun this July with Valley Humane Society's new Wednesday Workshop series. Geared for ages 8 and up, the series offers humane education lessons such as responsible pet ownership and pet body language. Participants will also make pet toys to enrich the lives of adoptable animals and take home. Parents are welcome, too! There is no fee to attend, but registration is required and donations are welcome. Sign up and reserve your spot today!
