Wenatchee Valley Humane Society has the highest intake numbers in 55 years

The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society (WVHS) has a record number of animals flooding into the shelter. The after-effects of COVID-19 have left many people struggling to make tough decisions. Surrendering their pets to the Humane Society is one of them. As winter sets in, the numbers are expected to increase. In fact, the intake is the highest in 55 years of saving pets’ lives.

The Community Foundation of North Central Washington’s (CFNCW) GIVE NCW campaign will ensure our shelter animals have the best possible medical treatment and services available. WVHS will be using this opportunity to raise funds for the shelter and aid in much-needed medical services. WVHS medical clinic offers on-site treatment and care to the animals.

“The Give NCW campaign is a great opportunity for community members to directly impact the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society in the best way possible,” says Dawn Davies, WVHS Interim Executive Director. Imagine a more Humane Society is the statement being used this giving season by WVHS. “Every dollar to the Give NCW campaign is maximized and will make a tremendous difference in a pet’s life,” added Davies.
