Groundbreaking 2013

The Animal League of Green Valley celebrated the New Year by breaking ground for its expansion project.

The much needed space will provide a new cat wing, an adoption counseling room, a multipurpose room for volunteer training and Outreach education, and computer work stations.

Construction is scheduled for completion near the end of July. The present cat rooms will be converted to dog kennels and a new outdoor dog area is also planned.

TALGV continues to grow and improve with the support of our community and our many donors. TALGV Board Members L to R: Joan Matti, Rose Welliver, Georgia Puttock, Linda Moser, Jean Davis, Kim Eisele, Kareen Kell, Nancy Arnold THANK YOU! with Page Repp, General Contractor Foster Program Enriches Lives by Jan Noll

Gigi, Magic, Daisy 4, Guy, Tyson, Buddha, Curly....this list of names of some of man’s best friends goes on and on. They are just a few of TALGV’s dogs that have benefited from the current foster care program.

In November 2012, Jean Davis recruited Ed Zimmermann to reenergize TALGV’s foster program. The need was immediate as the shelter had to find homes for dogs that were to be displaced due to the upcoming construction.

Ed asked Jan Noll to be his co-coordinator and together they took on the job. In a short time the plan was perfected, and with an enthusiastic team of volunteer foster parents the program was in full swing at the start of construction; placing 19 dogs in foster homes.

This would not have been possible without the generosity of the families that offered their hearts, their time and their homes to these dogs. Congratulations and thank you to each family that volunteered.

When a dog is placed in a foster home, change happens. Not only is the dog out of a kennel and in a home where his needs are met, but he Christopher with his foster mom blossoms with the love and attention he receives in the home. The foster parents are asked to enforce the dog’s positive behaviors, help with socialization, work on some basic training, and help reduce any anxiety the dog may have developed during his time at the shelter. Many of the dogs actually become more adoptable with the diligent concern received. To date, more than ten of the foster dogs have been adopted.

Foster families also find their lives enriched by caring for and meeting the needs of the dog. Many have commented on how they enjoy walking, playing and spending time with a dog who offers unconditional love and only asks for affection, time and, of course, two meals a day!

The foster program continues to need foster homes, especially for the larger dogs. The need will still be there even after construction is finished. Please contact TALGV if you have room in your home and heart to join this worthwhile program.

Nova loves his foster home! Thank You!
