Aussie at AHS

One of the most exciting times of the year at Animal Humane Society is fast approaching – National Animal Shelter Week! This year, November 18-24 will be a week full of celebrating the animals in our care and raising awareness for the critical work that AHS does for the animals and people in our community.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, your donation November 18-24 will go three times as far to help vulnerable animals in need.

A dog sits outside near a pumpkin

It’s pumpkin season! While this festive fruit is a great addition to your front porch or your favorite latte, it can also be a great snack to share with your dog or cat.

Pumpkin is rich in many vitamins and nutrients, but not all parts of the plant are safe to share with your best friend. Before you offer up your Halloween jack-o-lantern leftovers, learn how to safely introduce pumpkin into your pet’s diet.

Kittens and puppies are adorable, but older animals are equally ready to be your new best friend!

November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month and we're taking this time to highlight a few of the reasons why adopting a senior pet might be the best decision you could ever make. 

Festive treats to share with your dog 

Want to share a little holiday cheer with your dog? While traditional festive ingredients aren't always safe for your dog to consume, you can DIY your own treats for your dog to enjoy.
