Foster Families Always Needed!!

Due largely in part to the Upper Valley Humane Society’s new Medical Care Fund and several caring foster families, more and more animals are getting a second chance at a long life in a loving home. Recently, Melissa Salazar and Lee Espinoza made a huge difference in the lives of 2 puppies, Sassy and Raven, and their mother Holly by nursing them back to health. Occasionally, animals enter the doors of The Upper Valley Humane Society with minor, but highly treatable conditions. If you would like to make a difference in the life of a pet by fostering, call the Upper Valley Humane Society today. Thank you Melissa & Lee for your support!

Spay/Neuter Education Program

We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us develop an education progam that can be used by teachers at various levels to educate their students about the importance of spay/neuter. Humane Education can encompass a wide variety of topics and issues, but we will start with the basics. Our goal is to put together a list of resources and an easy to use notebook or packet of information that contains educational handouts and projects, so it can be easily used by teachers at various grade levels, or volunteers who can come and speak in the classroom. We are looking for teachers at various grade levels. and any volunteers who have creative ideas! Please email uvhsvolunteers@aol.com if you are interested in participating and we will schedule an introductory meeting in a few weeks. 2/7/06
