We always need donations for rabies vaccinations and spay/neuter costs so our animals can go to Petsmart Adoption Days - Can You Help?
“To provide a safe
haven for unwanted or abandoned pets in Pinal County, to return lost pets to
their rightful owners, to place animals in loving adoptive homes and prevent the
overpopulation of dogs and cats through spay and neuter programs.”
About Us
Founded in 1966, Valley
Humane Society is a private, non-profit 501 c(3) organization which accepts
nearly 1000 unwanted pets each year. These pets are surrendered to VHS, usually
by their owners who can no longer care for them, with a small percentage found
as strays.
WE ARE PROUD MEMBERS OF
HSUS - Humane Society of United States
NACA - National Animal Control Association
Greater Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce
Did You Know
Many impounded
animals in city and county shelters often have only three to ten days in which
they are available for adoption, while VHS animals may be sheltered for several
months. Located on three acres the VHS shelter cares for up to 50 dogs and 30
cats at a time, and occasionally other pets such as hamsters, ferrets, guinea
pigs, rabbits and birds. Each year VHS needs a minimum of $140,000 to provide
these animals with basic food, housing, health care and protection from cruelty
and other dangers.
Paws To Think
As the only
non-profit Humane Society in Pinal County, VHS receives absolutely no public
funding from any government source or from any other animal welfare
organization, national or local. The shelter survives solely on donations,
memberships, sponsor contributions, and the generosity of local businesses and
the general public. Share in our vision that healthy companion animals should
not be put to death for lack of a home, lack of shelter space or lack of
compassion. Please give generously and consider adopting a pet from Valley
Humane Society.
