  • Animal Adoption and Care

    Adoptions and Animal Care -In 2024, Valley Humane Society welcomed 565 cats and dogs into its care, providing each with compassionate sheltering, enrichment, and attentive veterinary support. Through its Adoption Center, 542 animals found loving homeseach placement guided by careful matchmaking and a commitment to every pet's well-being. As a closed-intake shelter, Valley Humane Society accepts animals primarily from municipal shelters and local residents as space allows, ensuring that every pet taken in receives the time and attention needed to fully recover, grow, and thrive. Animals remain in the organization's care until they are adopted, allowing staff and volunteers to provide consistent medical, behavioral, and emotional support throughout their stay. A devoted network of 129 foster families cared for 436 animals throughout the year, creating safe, nurturing environments that expanded the shelter's capacity and offered individualized care when medical or behavioral support was needed. This collaboration between staff and foster volunteers remains essential to preparing animals for successful adoptions. The addition of a part-time shelter veterinarian further strengthened in-house medical capacity, enabling timely exams and preventive treatmentsall contributing to improved health outcomes for adoptable animals.
