🚨 Williamsburg, we have an URGENT need for your help! The sewer line that runs through half of our building is in need of immediate replacement. This is a costly and very important repair that we were not expecting until later this year, but construction now needs to begin this coming Monday, April 13. We anticipate a two-week construction period, during which time the shelter will only be admitting stray pets and emergency cases.
At this moment, every dog kennel in our facility is full, and we are also managing illness within the building. With construction about to begin, we must urgently need to reduce our on-site population to protect the health and safety of every animal in our care. How can you help?
🙏 Adoption into permanent homes 🐶😻🏡 (https://heritagehumane.org/adopt/)
🙏 Short-term fostering: Please foster any of our dogs and cats. Even a two-week commitment can make a life-saving difference. We provide all the resources and support. (https://heritagehumane.org/foster-volunteers/)
🙏 Career Cats: Select from 15 that are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and ready to put their “mousing” skills to work at barns, warehouses, brewing companies, wineries, and more! 😻 (https://heritagehumane.org/career-cats/)
🙏 Transfers to trusted regional partners: Help drive some shelter pets being relocated to other shelters.
