A Home for Hoss!

By Amanda Volden

Hoss is a darling 8-month-old male, brown brindle and white German Shepherd Dog mix. He has been available for adoption since Jan 15, 2015. Hoss needs some training, but he is already house broken and he knows basic commands! He will need to be introduced to where the "bathroom" is in his new home, which is to be expected when bringing a dog to a new home.

Thank You To Our Sponsors & Donors!

By Amanda Volden

Thank you to our sponsors and donors who are making this years first annual Dog Jog possible. We couldn't do it without you! Coming soon to Lake Casitas! The first annual Dog Jog will be a fun event for people who love animals and want to support our LOCAL Humane Society. The Dog Jog is a 5k fun run/walk for people (we would LOVE to have dogs participate but it presents too many logistical issues for our very first 5k, hopefully the next one!). The event will take place at Lake Casitas on March 14, 2015. There will be live music by Main Street Band, food trucks, and HSVC will have both information and education booths on site. (Sign up at www.Active.com by February 15th to get a FREE t-shirt).
