RVHS PET PORTRAIT PROGRAM

On Saturday September 24th the Rogue Valley Humane Society opened its doors (and kennels) to the public for their 4th annual Open House. In spite of several other significant events taking place in town this weekend the turn out was consistent throughout the afternoon and those who came had lots of fun.

Aside from holding tours of the shelter itself (and all the residents) there were vendors, RVHS merchandise, great BBQ and photo ops with Fred the Daily Courier mascot dog.

Thanks to the volunteers from the shelter and the shelter staff who donated their time. Special thanks to all those who attended and pulled out their wallets to buy raffle tickets and other goodies. It truly was a group effort.

As always, everything we raised goes directly to help our never ending goal of saving animals in distress or abandonment and making sure they all find a good home. We are a no kill shelter so some of our guys have been with us a while and will be until they are placed... maybe with you?

Many changes, all for the better, have taken place at our shelter in the last couple of years and those who came out saw them first hand. If you haven't been here for a while stop by and visit. You can also arrange a private tour in advance (during business hours) and who knows, maybe you'll find the new love of your life.

 

Volunteers Diane and Kenway Mead manned the traveling RVHS store.

 

Board members Fred Friedman and Rich Steed cooked up the burgers and dogs.

 

 

Fred, the Grants Pass Daily Courier mascot is a welcome addition to any event. Here he poses with the shelters mascot (Pistol).

 

With passion, purpose, and integrity, Canine Angels Service Teams (CAST) raises and trains exceptional dogs for children with special needs, promoting the child’s independence and providing a better quality of life through a canine connection.

Margaret Forsberg, DVM from the Valley Animal Hospital was on hand to give $5.00 vaccinations to community dogs. Dr. Margaret and the VAH have been huge supporters of the RVHS and we highly recommend them for your pets care needs.

 

 

 

Getting in the mood for Halloween. Be sure to pack up the family and come out to our 2nd annual RVHS Haunted Barn - Insane Asylum.

 

 

 

Gypsy got every ones attention when they found out she is 17...she was adopted from RVHS 15 years ago!

 

 

 

 

The RSVP Serenaders set up in the Gary Mills Memorial Pavilion and proceeded to do what they do best... sing.

 

 

Throughout the gazebo there are stones honoring some of the shelter's success stories like Freedom and Truman, and memorials for those gone.

 

 

To make our Gazebo Pet Park even more special we are now offering custom Memorial or Honorary Stepping Stones to be placed in a prominent spot within the landscaping.
