    Cottonwood AZ (September 24, 2015) – Most of us equate late summer/early fall with vacations, barbecues, and relaxation.  At the Verde Valley Humane Society (VVHS), we look forward to that as well, but also know that this is usually the time of the year when the shelter usually reaches a space issue and is in need of foster homes.

    Sometimes the greatest gift you can give an animal is time, love and a place to call home.  Foster homes are essential to the VVHS as they give the shelter the ability to open up their kennels and cages for even more animals in need.  The VVHS are always in need of foster homes for animals with special needs, including:

    • 20150924_evensupermanAnimals too young to be adopted.
    • Animals recovering from a medical condition or a surgical procedure.
    • Animals who are long-term residents who need extra TLC and a break from the shelter environment.
    • Animals who are shy, scared and or stressed in the shelter and who need extra love, attention, and socialization.
    • Senior animals who have a tendency to be less hopeful than younger ones when they find themselves confined to a shelter and they may become depressed. They need to be in a home to help them maintain good emotional and physical health.

    Every animal is unique and the time in a foster home will vary depending on the needs of the animal.  Some may only need a week or two, while others may need a few months.

    When you choose to give from the heart and foster, you are saving animals’ lives.  You only need to provide the love and care, and the VVHS will provide everything else (including, food, bowls, medications, crates, litter, etc,).

    Becoming a foster parent can be a wonderfully fulfilling experience.  For more details, and an application form, please call Angie Hare, Shelter Manager, at (928) 634-7387 or send an email to sheltermanager@v-vhs.org.   You are welcome to apply in person at the shelter at 1520 W. Mingus Avenue, Cottonwood, Mon-Sat between 10a.m. and 5p.m.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
