THIS Tuesday, 18 October at 6 pm is our Humane Society’s Annual Membership Meeting at the Wetumpka Civic Center, 410 S. Main St, Wetumpka, AL 36092. We will be reviewing the past year, electing Board Officers and looking ahead to 2023. Hope to see our members there!
Thank you so very much to all the wonderful people who brought donations for the area shelters Friday night at the Alabama National Fair. We are incredibly grateful to the Kiwanis Club of Montgomery members and Alabama National Fair for their hard work making the Alabama National Fair such a success and for helping our River Region Animal Shelters like this. Thank you all so very much!
More thanks to everyone at Lily Pad Place & the Thirsty Turtle in Millbrook for including us in their Open House on Saturday while also taking in donations to help our Shelter! We greatly appreciate everyone’s support.
A couple of weeks ago we found our dry dog food supply uncomfortably low and asked for help. Boy oh boy did everyone help! THANK YOU so very much to everyone who donated food for our pups! The delivery folks for USPS, UPS & FEDEX made multiple deliveries, often same day, as the orders from Chewy, Amazon & Walmart came in – on top of all the food hand-delivered to the Shelter by donors. We are out of the danger zone thanks to so many dog loving supporters and we are truly humbled by the response – thank you, thank you, thank you.
We had one other major surprise recently – the wonderful folks at Wind Creek Wetumpka added us to their “Make a Change” program and then asked us to come over to receive our check. We were certainly shocked and pleasantly surprised when they gave us a check for $11, 383.37! This was one of those ‘WOW’ moments and we cannot thank Wind Creek and everyone who dropped their tickets in the barrel enough!
Just a reminder for our supporters who work for the Alabama State Government and want to donate financially, no better way than through the 2022 Alabama State Combined Campaign (SCC) and our Agency Code is 106803. The SCC makes donating to deserving charities easy either one time or via monthly payroll deduction and we want to thank all who so generously donate to help not only our shelter, but non-profit agencies everywhere.
This week is National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week and behind every awesome Veterinarian is an equally awesome team of Veterinary Technicians.
Veterinary Technicians show their love for animals as they work tirelessly in exam rooms, labs, and operating rooms, using their training and knowledge to assist their Veterinarian in improving and saving beloved pets lives. Please give thanks to all who work in Veterinary Hospitals as they work tirelessly to help our pets live longer and healthier lives.
