September 1, 2017—For the past 30 years, Valley Humane Society has made positive impact in the lives of cats, dogs and people in the Tri-Valley region. On Thursday, September 21, 2017, the organization will mark this special anniversary with a birthday bash from 5-8 pm at their Pleasanton adoption center, located at 3670 Nevada Street. The community is invited to stop by and join the celebration with cake and ice cream, refreshments, and a furry fun time!
Valley Humane Society was initially formed as a private surrender resource for pet guardians who needed to relinquish their animals but didn’t want to place them at risk of being euthanized in a high-volume public shelter. In the three decades since, the organization has consistently worked at saving and enriching lives, with numerous evolving programs that strengthen the bond between people and pets.
Thousands of animals have received direct assistance from Valley Humane Society over the years. Generations of children have learned humane compassion, and countless local residents have had their lives touched by the unconditional acceptance of a Canine Comfort Pet Therapy visit. Annually, more than 120,000 meals are distributed through the AniMeals pet food pantry to pet guardians struggling to care for their beloved animals.
Valley Humane Society is also asking interested individuals to contribute $30, or $1 per year as a celebration donation to help continue the lifesaving work for another 30 years.
