    Healing Paws

    logo_vvhsCottonwood AZ (January 16, 2020) – In 2019, the Verde Valley Humane Society (VVHS) assisted 145 pets from the Town of Camp Verde.  However, despite months of work, VVHS has been unable to negotiate an agreement to renew their animal sheltering contract with the Town of Camp Verde. 

    Effective January 15, 2020, Verde Valley Humane Society will no longer be able to accept lost, stray and unowned animals from residents of the Town of Camp Verde.  VVHS will be referring inquiries regarding those animals to the Animal Control division of the Camp Verde Marshall’s Office at 928-554-8370.

    VVHS will continue to do their best to help by taking in owner surrendered animals from the Town on a space-available basis.  Surrender fees will apply as always.

      What on earth is happening to people. Camp Verde will no longer fund their Humane Society, the shelter cannot negotiate an agreement with the Council. What could be so hard? If one of them has a dog who gets loose and has no id on him and is lost and someone “kind” person finds him. How will the owner find him? Normally he would have been taken to their shelter where his owner who “supposedly” loves him would look. He won’t be there thanks to the Camp Verde Council. Since I have lived in Sedona I have adopted five shelter animals and I am so glad they were there to bring me so much joy. What is the Marshall’s office going to do with lost animals? I would like to know? Since this is the way Camp Verde would treat pet animals what must they be doing to their wildlife?
      This is a true “Badge of Shame” on Camp Verde.

      This is also a “Badge of Shame” on VVHS, which is a non-profit. The fact that certain jurisdictions include VVHS in their budget is a big plus to this organization, but the majority of funds come from donors who think they are supporting the Verde Valley. For an organization whose name reflects the Verde Valley to be selective in what parts of the Verde Valley they serve is unconsciousable. Shame!


    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.
