ASPCA Delivers

The Dubuque Regional Humane Society (DRHS), over the next six weeks, will receive over 120 animals from shelters in Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. These animals come from shelters with high euthanasia rates so the ASPCA will transport these animals to safety at the DRHS.

There are seven total transports with over 90 dogs and 34 kittens arriving in Dubuque. 

July 19: dogs made the trip from Hattiesburg, MS
July 20: 34 Kittens under 16 weeks arrived to find homes here in Dubuque 
August 4: Dogs from Stilwell, OK & Denison, TX
August 9: Dogs from Little Rock, Conway, 
Bauxite and Jonesboro, AR
August 15: Dogs from Stilwell, OK & Denison, TX
August 22: dogs from Little Rock, Conway, Bauxite and Jonesboro, Arkansas
August 29: Dogs from Stilwell, OK & Denison TX

If you can help, we could use your support to cover spay/neuter surgery costs and/or the overall care for these animals with any donations of dog and cat toys, treats, paper towels, bleach, or monetary donations. If you can help, please drop off or mail to: 4242 Chavenelle Road, Dubuque, Iowa 52002.

Keep Cool

Dogs and cats can become dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of water when it is hot outdoors. Also make sure your pet has a shady place to escape the sun if outside, and when the temperature is very high, don't let your dog linger on hot asphalt. Being so close to the ground, your dog's body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn; parked cars, even with windows open, become very hot in a short amount of time, and this can lead to heatstroke or death.
