    Sedona News – Congratulations go to Antonio Lopez! He has been promoted to the position of Shelter Manager. Antonio has been with us for the better part of 7 years. He originally started as part time back in 2014, but quickly went full-time. He took a couple of years off from animal welfare, but soon found he missed it.  

    He returned to the Humane Society of Sedona in 2019 as an Animal Care Lead and has worked his way up the ranks. He is an experienced animal handler and does an amazing job with behavior management.

    Antonio was born and raised in the area. He grew up with animals and was very active with 4H, raising goats and Guinea pigs. He and his family have been active participants in animal rescue since his early teens, specifically with Belgian Melanosis and at one point they had 13 in their house. His father was the K-9 Officer/Handler with the Sedona Police Department for many years and Antonio was often able to observe and work with his father in the training of the Police K-9 officer. His father imparted his vast knowledge to Antonio.

    The Shelter manager who originally hired Antonio mentored him on shelter animal behavior and Antonio has since grown his knowledge base consistently over the years.

    He currently has 2 cats, a fish, a crested gecko, and 5 dogs that he shares with his family. He also comes with 11 years of maintenance experience as well as being a skilled presenter and trainer. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing person as part of our HSS family!

      Congratulations, Antonio!

      In Oct. 2016 we drove from the Seattle area to Sedona with our dog to visit friends and hopefully find a canine companion for her. We saw a dog named Two Bitz on the HSS website, and you facilitated the meet & greet between the 2 dogs. His name has been changed to “Tobe” (pronounced “Toby”), and he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He’s sitting next to me as I type this.

      Judging by the article above, you’re a man of many talents and HSS is lucky to have you! Thank you again for helping with our adoption of Tobe, and congratulations on your promotion!


    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.
