Good Samaritans from the Corner Pub help Lost Pup Find its Way Home
02 Jul 2009

Owners, employees and patrons at The Corner Pub recently took in a little dog that was running loose on the busy streets outside of the establishment.  The dog, Tuffy, was quickly returned to his owner when the signs she posted indicated who Tuffy was and where he belonged.  Refusal of The Corner Pub owners Daryl and Bobbie Sword to accept the reward resulted in a donation of $100.00 to the Humane Society of Washington County (HSWC). 


Little Girls Love of Animals Spans County Borders
02 Jul 2009

Mya Rattay loves animals and she recently put that love to work for the animals at the Humane Society of Washington County (HSWC).  Hoping to raise funds for the homeless animals the seven year old little girl wrote a sign, attached it to a donation box she made and gave it to her father to take to work.  She collected over $50.00 and used that money to purchase treats and supplies for the animals at the shelter.

Home 4 the Holidays
For the third year the Humane Society of Washington County is partnering with the Helen Woodward Animal Center and Iams to promote the adoption of shelter pets.

 

The Humane Society of Washington County is pleased to share some of the wonderful stories we have received about the animals we have adopted from our facility. We hope you enjoy the following story:

Chile

So many of us have pets but there is often one pet that touches our hearts in a way no other has. What you are about to read is a memorial for a dog named Chile who joined a family over ten years ago. The owner felt compelled to conact Scott and Melita Wishard of Maugansville who helped with Chile's adoption. This touching email illustrates how deeply the owner and his family were touched by the young dog they adopted so long ago.

Did you adopt a pet from the Humane Society of Washington County? If so, please feel free to let us know how your HSWC family member is doing.
