The Valley River Humane Society Inc

In an unbelievable example of serendipity, the Valley River Humane Society was bequeathed an endowment from a Florida native who had never been to the area. One of her friends had visited the mountains however and was impressed by the help the Society had given in rescuing a stray dog she had encountered during her trip. Her memory of that event led to the suggestion the Society be included in the will of her friend. At the benefactor's death, the Society found itself able to fulfill its dream of building a larger modern shelter. That dream is now a reality! We will still find ourselves without many of the resources needed for our task, but we are able to shelter a larger number of dogs and cats, we have a facility that a potential adopter can visit without dismay, and our volunteers and employees have a safe, modern environment.
