All bathing beauties will be entered into a raffle to win a free 2-night stay at the HVHS boarding kennel; free ID tags will be available too. Proof of rabies is required; a printout of your pet’s rabies certificate is preferred (a picture on your smartphone will suffice too).

This Tuesday, November 29, 2022 we ask our friends and supporters to donate to our organization so that we may continue our mission of animal welfare. our veterinary costs alone exceed $250,000.00 annually and although we host a number of fundraising events, we fell short to cover this expense. That is why this Tuesday is so important to the animals in the care of the HVHS. You can make an impact. We have a donor who will match the first $5,000.00 -- please help us achieve this goal. Every dollar helps an animal in need. Thank you for considering donating. We accept Zelle (917-701-3870), PayPal, credit/debit cards by phone (845-354-3124) and checks by mail to: HVHS, 200 Quaker Road, Pomona, NY 10970. Thank you wishing everyone kindness in return.
