By: Judy Hamontre, AVHS Board Member & Volunteer A healthy animal is a happy animal, and the animals at Ark-Valley Humane Society (AVHS) receive the very best medical care to keep them happy.

If a staff member notices anything of concern during this exam, then the animal is referred to veterinarian, Dr. Annie Schultz-Cordova, DVM. Animals that appear healthy, are up to date on rabies vaccines, and are already spayed/neutered, may not see Dr. Annie......

by: Judy Hamontre, AVHS Volunteer and Board Member The “Dog Days” of summer are here, and on Monday, August 1, DOGust began. In 2008, the world’s largest no-kill shelter and adoption organization, North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, New York, chose August 1, “DOGust,” as the universal birthday for all shelter dogs who have no records. Shelter workers can estimate a dog’s age, but they cannot precisely determine the day a dog was born. Because no one at North Shore Animal League wanted to see a sweet dog without a birthday, DOGust began. It is now considered a universal birthday......

King is our Heart of the Rockies Radio News pet of the week! King has been at the shelter longer than any of our other adoptable dogs with very little interest 😔 He is a wonderful pup who has never met a stranger! He loves to sunbathe and hang out with staff in our play yard every day. ☀️ Understandably, King is not BFFs with every dog he meets (just like us humans!) so will need to meet any dogs in the home at the shelter to see if it’s a good fit.......
