Can you believe it's already June? Summer is here, and we’re as thrilled as our furry friends to bask in the sunshine. As we gear up to celebrate our 10th annual Tails at Twilight gala, we're also buzzing about the pet food drive at the Alameda County Fair and our fun upcoming adoption events. If you’re looking for a way to get more involved, this summer is the perfect time to consider a rewarding volunteer role at Valley Humane that will warm your heart long after the popsicles melt. Let’s dive into the summer spirit together and make a positive impact on the lives of pets and people in our community.
