Hot Weather Tips
In summertime, the living isn’t always easy for our animal friends. Dogs and cats can suffer from the same problems that humans do, such as overheating, dehydration and even sunburn. By taking some simple precautions, you can celebrate the season and keep your pets happy and healthy.
Dog Registration/Licensing
All dogs over the age of 4 months are required by law to be licensed in the area that they live. Find information on local licensing departments here!

Dog-Friendly Wineries
Valley Humane Society is grateful for the support we receive from the local winegrowers community here in the Tri-Valley. From participation in community events like Wine & Wags and Yappy Hour, to our partnerships with Darcie Kent Vineyards on their DogDay label and Ruby Hill Winery on Cuvée Dray, the enthusiasm for our lifesaving programs has made a tremendous impact in the lives of countless animals. If you’re looking to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting with your four-legged companion, view this list of dog-friendly wineries courtesy of the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association. Cheers!
Pet Loss Support Group
The death of a companion animal can be devastating, sometimes even causing greater pain than the death of a human family member. Guilt over this, or the decision to euthanize a pet, may add to the suffering. The Tri-Valley Community Pet Loss Support Group creates a safe place to share memories, learn the grieving process, and find ideas to memorialize a pet.
