Lehigh Valley Humane Society

With over 75 dogs in our care, our kennels are FULL and we are in need of volunteers to help staff walk our dogs! These volunteers are absolutely crucial, as walks provide socialization and important physical and mental stimulation for shelter dogs, keeping them happy and healthy while they await their forever home. To get started becoming a dog walking volunteer, complete the registration form at the link below and you will receive a confirmation email to sign up for an orientation date. Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator Jenny with any questions at [email protected]. Thank you in advance!

With August behind us, we are thrilled to share our monthly impact report! We achieved a record-breaking 100% live release rate for dogs, and we take special pride in finding forever homes for some of our longest-term residents like Fefetia, Alice, Matcha, Super Fly, Thomas, and all the other adoption stories we have highlighted on our social media pages recently. Every member of our staff and volunteer team passionately advocates for the dogs that stay with us a bit longer than average. Through regular evaluations of our lifesaving programs and early intervention plans like training and enrichment, dog playgroups, and behavior modification medications to address shelter-based behaviors, we’re able to uncover the true personalities of dogs who may struggle in the stressful shelter environment and act out due to fear, anxiety, or stress. We are so proud of what we have accomplished, but the work never ends! We are committed to continuing to improve in everything we do. Thank you to everyone who has supported our staff with kind words and encouragement! #lehighhumane #LVHSProud Lehigh Valley Humane Society 640 Dixon St. Allentown, PA 18103 Kennel License 02552

Grantmaker Foxwynd Foundation Invests in Lehigh Valley Humane Society to Save and Improve the Lives of Pets in the Lehigh Valley Allentown, PA (September 10, 2024) – Lehigh Valley Humane Society (LVHS) has received a $50,000 grant investment from the Foxwynd Foundation in support of their lifesaving work for animals in the Lehigh Valley. A $50,000 investment from the Foxwynd Foundation will support Addie’s Fund, which subsidizes the cost of services provided through the LVHS Community Vet Clinic program, enabling these services to remain affordable to our constituents. This grant investment will significantly offset the cost of expensive, complex surgeries for pets in dire need of care. The mission of the Foxwynd Foundation is to act as a lifeline for communities in need by enhancing access to key pillars of human dignity and potential such as healthcare, housing, and sustainable environmental initiatives. The Foxwynd Foundation DAF (donor-advised fund) funded the Foxwynd Foundation’s generous donation to Lehigh Valley Humane Society. "We are proud to support the Lehigh Valley Humane Society’s lifesaving work. By investing in Addie’s Fund, we help ensure that families can keep their pets healthy and at home, regardless of financial challenges. The Foxwynd Foundation is dedicated to enhancing access to essential services, and we are excited to partner with LVHS in making a difference for pets and their families,” said Pamela Villagra, Foxwynd Foundation.? “We at the LVHS are very appreciative of the Foxwynd’s Foundations support and belief in our mission. Support from the Foxwynd Foundation means the LVHS Community Vet Clinic is able to provide crucial veterinary care to owned pets so that they can stay in the homes where they are loved and where they belong. No one should have to say goodbye to their pet when the only obstacle to lifesaving treatment is the cost,” said Hal Warner, CEO of Lehigh Valley Humane Society. Lehigh Valley Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that not only serves abandoned and abused animals in need; it also provides a variety of pet care resources to the families of owned pets at affordable, accessible prices. In 2024, the Lehigh Valley Humane Society took in almost 3,000 homeless animals and provided $250,000 in financial assistance to families with pets in need of veterinary care through its Community Vet Clinic program.
