Meet Maggie…Pet of the Week!
Maggie, a 5 year old, female, is a 41 pound American Staffordshire Terrier, who was transferred to Auburn Valley Humane Society from a shelter in Eastern Washington because they were out of space. She loves to snuggle, grab her stuffed toy and prance around. Come visit her at the AVHS Animal Shelter.
Thank you to our supporters! Read more about their stories…
Little Rey was brought to our shelter by Auburn Animal Control Officers. Our AVHS Veterinary staff discovered that she was very sick. She was diagnosed with liver disease. AVHS thanks Phoenix Lab for their partnership in helping to subsidize the cost of her bloodwork.
License your Pet today!
Pet licensing is required for cats and dogs living within the City limits of Auburn. Be sure you register your pet for its license. Read about more details to register in person or online at the pet licensing.
Grant Money available will help Senior Dogs
Bento says come visit us at the AVHS shelter! I was adopted!
Old dogs have something to wag about this summer, as The Grey Muzzle Organization announced that AVHS was one of the animal welfare groups that was awarded a grant to help local senior dogs. The grant will support the new AVHS Public Veterinary Assistance Fund, which provides financial assistance to low income Auburn residents for non-routine medical care of their dogs and cats. The program aims to enrich and maintain the human animal bond and keep loved pets in their homes. For more details on the program, click here. Bento is one of many great senior dogs that are available for adoption at AVHS.
