An Open Invitation

We encourage all animal lovers to visit the shelter and see for themselves the significant improvements that have been and continue to be made. The health of the cats and dogs has never been better!!! There is no longer any overcrowding with animals living in unsanitary conditions.

Cats are now tested for feline leukemia and aids and dogs for heartworm as soon as they arrive at the shelter. All animals that need vaccinations are given them immediately and are kept separate from the healthy ones for observation. Currently all dogs are personally accompanied to their new home by our Manager, Christina Reed, to ensure the home is suitable and the dog will be well cared for. Christina has been so highly impressed with several of the homes she asked some adopters it they would also consider adopting her! So far no one has taken her up on her request.

New programs have been instituted and others are being planned. A foster care program has been implemented for kittens and puppies. As our team of foster families increases, we plan to include special needs dogs that need one on one attention before they are ready for adoption.

Please consider joining our Special Events Team. On June 28th, we will be participating in Community Day sponsored by Sears. As usual we will be at the Fantastic Flea Market on August 2nd. We are currently planning an Open House, but have not yet set the date. If you would like to help with an event or have an idea for an event, please come to the shelter and complete our volunteer application.

Positive relationships with other animal welfare organizations throughout the Rogue Valley are being established. By working together, we can all benefit from each other's experience and ideas resulting in the improvement of the welfare of the precious lives we have been entrusted with.

The Executive Director of a very successful humane society recently toured our shelter for the first time since 2003 and wrote "I hadn't been there in a while and I was very pleased with what I saw. The organization has made some great strides in improving the care and housing of the animals there. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by the changes that have taken place since my last visit. I commend you and everyone involved on such hard work. It's not easy to make the changes you've implemented, particularly with such a large number of volunteers and limited paid staff."

Allegations have been about RVHS - some of which are ridiculous and all of which are unsubstantiated. You owe it to the animals to personally investigate the truth of what you may have been told and not rely on hearsay. The future well being of the animals at RVHS depends on your due diligence.

Thank you for your continued support of the animals in our community by your commitment and donations to RVHS. We appreciate everything you do. Times are tough and the cats and dogs rely on us to speak out on their behalf and work to improve their welfare. If you have any questions or would like more information about any rumors you have heard about the administration of RVHS, please feel free to call the shelter at 479-5154 and a member of the Board will return your call.

 

 

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who donated towards Stream's surgery she is well on her way to recovery. She had the procedure on May 23rd and on June 6th she went to her to her new home with two of the Vet Techs from Southern Oregon Veterinary Specialty Center. She still may need some additional procedures, but her new guardians will take care of that. Our heartfelt appreciation to all of you who opened your hearts (not to mention your wallets) to help one of the many needy animals in our care.

FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED!

If you have love to share and a heart for animals, volunteers are needed to provide shelter as a temporary foster home. As kittens and puppies come into the shelter, they need to be placed with a foster family where they can experience loving care and trust with humans until they are old enough to be spayed/neutered and adopted. This may be a single kitten or puppy, litters or moms with their babies.

We also have adults who may have an injury or traumatic experience and just need some convalescing time with a gentle soul and quiet environment.

The fulfillment found in fostering is tremendous. By offering a foster home, you are saving two lives: the one you are providing a temporary home for and the one who will take their place in the shelter.

And if sewing is your gift, the cats greatly appreciate fleece and sherpa material sewn into 18" x 24" blankets.

You are invaluable to the animals and we appreciate any help you can give us in saving lives!

Please inquire at our office about our current adoption donation prices. Also, we make every effort to spay and neuter our dogs and cats before they are adopted, and they are scheduled to recieve medical evaluations and vaccinations as soon as they arrive. We care! Thank you for caring, also. We are YOUR Humane Society. We are entirely local!
