Cheers to a tail-wagging 2024! Valley Humane Society is leaping into the new year with boundless joy, creating a world where every cat and dog finds a home. Last year, your support led to more than 600 adoptions, creating countless moments of happiness. In addition, the Phil Schlolz Veterinary Surgery Center opened, providing a much-needed community resource to the East Bay and beyond. More than 5,500 spay/neuter surgeries were performed last year, allowing many of those cats and dogs to be adopted more quickly. Our community's compassion shone brightly, making 2023 a milestone year. Thank you for being a part of these heartwarming stories of success!

As we dive into 2024, our resolution is to continue this momentum, bringing smiles, new homes, and joy to all. What will you do in 2024? If your goals involve companionship, community, or giving back, we can help! Take a look for some ideas of resolutions where you can create real change.

Resolve to Make Life Better

Resolve to Make a Plan

Be remembered for your meaningful support of the cause you believe in by leaving a legacy that impacts companion animals into the future. You can use the FreeWill Platform to create both a will and a living trust—and it only takes 20 minutes.

A will (or revocable trust) is the best way to:

• Protect the people and pets you love.

• Save your family stress and time by giving exact instructions on how to handle your estate.

• Start a legacy with Valley Humane to create compassionate communities

and care for dogs and cats for generations to come.

Get started today and make 2024 the year you build a brighter future!
