A Home for the Holidays!

Home for the Holidays, planned for December 17, 2011, is going to be one of the most exciting days of the year for the staff and animals at your Blue Mountain Humane Society.  This is the fifth year we have held a special pet adoption event for the holidays with discounted adoptions offered on every single pet at the shelter.  The event will run from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at the shelter located at 7 E. George Street in Walla Walla.  All cats and kittens will be just $20 and all dogs and puppies will be just $50.  Every single pet is altered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and includes a certificate for a free wellness exam at any local vet clinic.

 The mission of the Blue Mountain Humane Society is to prevent cruelty and promote kindness to companion animals in our community.

Come see us – your new best friend is waiting!

Sara R. Archer, Executive Director, Blue Mountain Humane Society         

“Being a part of the Blue Mountain Humane Society has been an extremely rewarding experience for me. We have lots of wonderful people that not only work daily at the society, but also lots of people who work behind the scenes to make the Humane Society a viable operation. With our annual fundraiser known as the Furr Ball we are able to continue to provide a place where companion animals are safe and well cared for until they find their “forever home”.  There are many programs that we have to make life easier for not only the staff but the animals. Many citizens volunteer their time to walk the dogs or play with the kitties on a daily basis. A volunteer recently built the outdoor cat enclosure so that the cats have a tree to sit in and a great place to see the world while they wait to be adopted. All of this reduces stress and illness for the animals and helps morale immensely. We also work closely with the Cat Management Coalition in Walla Walla to trap, spay/neuter, and return feral cats to their native areas thus reducing cat overpopulation.  If you are interested in helping in any way please visit our website at bluemountainhumane.org or give us a call at 509-525-2452 and we will be happy to share the opportunities available for you. On our website is a “wish list” of items that are always greatly needed and in short supply so please feel free to check it out! ”
