Oh, a storm is threat?ning
My very life today
If I don?t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I?m gonna fade away
Saturday was a great day: We participated in Niagara Dogfest, which is a big annual event celebrating all things canine.

The Niagara Falls Humane Society was invited to host a barbecue lunch for the day, as we did last year, and we also included our signature Sour Puss Lemonade stand, and an Art for Animals tent. Thanks to everyone who supported our efforts and helped us pull off another successful fundraiser.
Every day is a busy day at our little shelter, and yesterday was no exception. In addition to her usual duties, our vet tech, Jen, was caring for a baby robin, feeding a tiny hummingbird, and attending to two baby bunnies. The variety of things she is responsible for sure makes her days interesting. There is a tremendous amount of caring in our building every single day, and it makes me proud to work here.

Summer is such a busy time at the shelter. Please be patient if you call and get put on hold, or if you have to wait in our lobby. If you have an animal to surrender, call us first to set up an appointment. And be aware that we have a waiting list for cat surrenders because the shelter is full right now.
Unbelievably, people are still leaving their dogs in cars in our community. I implore you to leave your pets at home where they are safe and cool on these hot summer days. It?s incredible to me that every single day we get calls about dogs suffering in locked cars in the summer heat. Your dog?s health and wellbeing is completely your responsibility. Keep them safe. Leave them at home. And if you see a dog in a hot car, please call us, or the police immediately, don?t take matters into your own hands.
Please visit our website, www.nfhs.ca? to view all the animal profiles, and to check out what?s happening at the shelter. Our Facebook page is another great way for you to stay in the loop.
