This November, gratitude takes center stage as we begin to reflect on what 2023 has given us here at Valley Humane. It's been an incredible year, with over 500 adoptions so far, hundreds of Canine Comfort visits all over the Bay Area, and over 4000 procedures performed at the Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Clinic, which just opened in May. We couldn't do it without YOU--our incredible volunteers, generous donors, and committed community members! This month, we are saying THANK YOU to all of you. We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming spirit of giving that infuses all you do, and invite you to celebrate with us this month. | |

Giving Tuesday: November 28 | |
|
On November 28, Valley Humane Society will join the global movement that is Giving Tuesday. Following the hustle and bustle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday is a reminder to express gratitude by giving back. This year we're excited to announce a 1:1 match, generously offered by our friends Robert and Diane Butler. Every dollar donated to Valley Humane--up to $25,000--will be doubled! It's an opportunity to magnify the reach of your giving, making each donation go twice as far in supporting our vital programs and services and helping to build a brighter future for companion animals. RSVP to receive a Facebook reminder and donate on Giving Tuesday to double the love and support for the animals who depend on us.
