Just wanted to share an update about Turner for Tanya as promised. He is doing great. He loves to play in the backyard with our little girl they both run around until they each are ready for a nap everyday lol. He sleeps inside at night and lets us know if he needs to be let out for a potty break. He gets so excited when its time for a walk and tries to get us to run with him. Here's a picture, it's off my phone though because our regular camera is out of service right now, so the quality may not be that good. We wanted to say thanks for Turner he is a member of our family and we all love him!

Jo Co's human residents and companioin animals are lucky to have a compassionate and responsibly operated humane society. Thanks to the hard work of the new boards and the generosity of volunteers, tremendous improvements in the conditions for the animals and in the operation of the Rogue Valley Humane Society have been achieved. It is a pleasure to see the positive changes and feel the good energy there among the animals and people, and to know that the animals are no longer suffering from overcrowding and inferior living conditions. The community now has a humane society with progressive operating procedures, the most important of which is their neuter before adoption policy, which sets a fine example and ensures that none of their animals will contribute to the tragedy of animal overpopulation. Thank you, RVHS!

  Hello, my name is Lady Mead, I am a Cocker Spaniel. My mom and Dad and I just moved to Grants Pass about three months ago from Phoenix, AZ. where we all thought we were going to die of the heat. Boy oh boy do we love it here in Grants Pass. Well anyhow, I want to tell you about Mom & Dad and how they started spending time at the Rogue Valley Humane Society. I still haven't figured out what a Humane Society is, but from what Mom & Dad say it is a pretty special place. They come home and tell me about these other dogs and kitty cats that have no home and no one to love them. Some have even been abused (what ever that is).

At first when Mom & Dad started spending time at the Humane Society I was a little bit jealous, I mean I have always had all the attention and now they want me to share with other animals, but now that I see how happy it makes my Mom & Dad I am glad for them. I sure feel bad about those doggies and kitties not having anyone to love them.

Mom and Dad keep telling me how nice the people at the Humane Society are and how they help the animals and each other, and how they have made Mom and Dad feel so welcome here. I guess what I really want to say here is if you love animals, please come to Rogue Valley Humane Society and volunteer your time to help these animals, it makes you feel so good and so happy. Why not help your furry friends?

Hi Tanya!

We are safe and sound in Portland! I am amazed with Woodstock's behavior today. He acted like he had been in the car a hundred times and just wanted to cuddle. After I dropped my friend off in Eugene, Woodstock rode quietly in the back seat showing no signs of anxiety. Before we left town we went to the local pet store to get his harness and leash and the staff was totally enamored with him. He is a blessing. We were listening to The Beatles' Abby Road on the way home tonight and one lyric rings true, "One sweet dream came true, today."
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been searching for this dog all my life. I will keep you posted!
