BCHS Honors Volunteer

Winnie Moyer, receptionist and greeter at East Smithfield Holistic Healthcare, has been a volunteer for the Bradford County Humane Society for many years.

Winnie has assisted with various fundraising events, most recently at the Paws for Celebration event at Tomasso's Restaurant and Golf Course on April 22nd.

"Winnie is a wonderful salesperson - she sells 50/50 raffle tickets for many of our events and does a outstanding job," stated Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director. "We wanted to honor her by making an announcement at the event about her volunteerism with the Bradford County Humane Society," Spencer added. Winnie was also gifted a BCHS sweatshirt for her hard work.

Aside from volunteering at events, Winnie also has a room at East Smithfield Holistic Healthcare dedicated to selling items to support BCHS. This rummage sale room has all different types of products ranging from jewelry, cards, shoes, clothing, plants, and much more. Each month she donates money that she has raised from this rummage sale to the Humane Society to support their mission of caring for homeless animals in Bradford and Sullivan Counties. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been raised and donated to BCHS because of Winnie's efforts.

BCHS would like to extend a huge thank you to Winnie for all of her efforts and volunteerism.

BCHS Seeking Assistance for Horses

Since Humane Police Officer Canning was sworn into both Bradford and Sullivan County Court houses for the Bradford County Humane Society, he has been extremely busy with all types of animal cruelty reports and investigations. Many have involved seizing large animals such as horses, cows, and pigs.

Veterinary care for large livestock can be very expensive. BCHS incurs all costs with emergent and ongoing vet care for these animals. Most horses need medications, their hooves trimmed and cared for, gelding, or other vet related care. Many of these fees can be upwards of over $1,000.

BCHS is asking our community for help to cover these high vet bills. Every donation, big or small, can help take care of these large animal seizures. If you are able to help, please send a check to:

Your donation is tax deductible.

Spring Rabies Clinic Scheduled

The Bradford County Humane Society and Towanda Creek Animal Hospital have once again teamed up to provide a low cost Rabies Clinic for the local community.

On Sat, April 8th from 10-Noon people may bring their leashed dogs or cats in crates to Bishop's True Value (the building behind the True Value Store) on Route 220 in Ulster . Patrons must also bring the pets' current rabies shot record.

The cost for the rabies vaccination is only $8.00.

This year 2017 dog licenses will also be offered to those in need. Costs vary dependent on whether the dog is altered and whether the owner is disabled or a senior citizen.

"It is extremely important for animals to have a current rabies shot. Even if you think your cat is only an inside cat, or your dog would never come into contact with the rabies virus, you could be wrong. There has been some incidents of various wildlife being contaminated with rabies. The last thing you would want is to put your animals' life or your own life in danger, by your pet possibly contracting the rabies virus," states Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director.
