All possible attempts are made to relocate the unwanted well animals. Many sick dogs that are otherwise considered adoptable are nursed back to health and then placed in a new home. Until recently there was no shelter available to house the animals until they were adopted. Care was done by foster homes. Even today there is a need for foster home volunteers to care for animals with special needs.
Fund raising is always a problem with any organization.
Planning and holding a fund-raiser takes a lot of time and effort. The Humane Society had very little money and the need was great. Dedicated volunteers worked hard and in the beginning you could see the Humane Society doing something every month. Fashion shows, dinners, bazaars, and the annual Perrorama. They were at Splash selling chili, at the DIF Christmas bazaar with cookies and ornaments, outside of Aramburo s Super Plaza with kittens for adoption.
