How is that for great math - 112.5% adoption rate!! One family came back to the shelter and adopted Curley. Creature Comforts also now gives gift certificates for every animal that is adopted from our shelter. Thank you to everyone involved and especially to Creature Comforts!

Home Show at the Veterans Memorial Arena
Thanks to Invisible Fence, The Humane Society had a successful outing at the Home Show March 12th and 13th, 2005. Interested visitors viewed pictures of available cats and dogs and information about our shelter. Thank you to eveyone who made donations and purchased 50/50 raffle tickets - Billy Berg was the lucky winner! One lucky dog, Clyde, was adopted after his family saw his picture at the show and fell in love at first sight!
Binghamton University Cycling Marathon - March 5, 2005
Thanks to efforts by Nuala Mabe and the Binghamton University Campus Recreational Services, plus donations by various BU departments, a cycling marathon was held on March 5, 2005, with "spinning" classes going from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Participants made donations per hour cycling or solicited sponsors in their quest to help the Humane Society. Over $540 dollars was raised (!) along with pet supply donations. For the people who did the cycling, it represents quite an effort (physically) on their part in the challenge to raise money. A Humane Society thanks goes to all who made the day such a success.
Volunteer Orientations 2005
Volunteer orientations are held at the shelter normally once a month on Saturdays at 11:00 am with presentations in the upstairs room followed by a walk around the kennel area. Steve Benjamin of Clicking with Canines gives an introduction and demonstration of the clicker training being incorporated at the shelter, and information regarding volunteer opportunities and guidelines are presented. At each session a puppy "volunteer" assists Steve in demonstrating clicker training.
