DVHS is a 503c nonprofit organization that has been in operation since 1964. Our shelter provides emergency housing for pets that have become separated from their families for a number of reasons:
– Some pets are brought to the shelter because their families are no longer able to provide for them due to financial difficulties or experience other life changing events
– Some pets are lost or abandoned
– Some pets are brought to us because their owner passed away
Whatever the reason, we provide them with emergency services such as temporary housing, food and medical treatment. We can provide housing for a maximum of 35 dogs and 70 cats at any given time. We also try our best to find new permanent homes for our residents. Each year we adopt out approximately 200 cats and dogs.
