Thank-You to the Kindness Animal Hospital

Our animals are often kept healthy by the Kindness Animal Hospital of Ossipee. If you drive north from Wolfeboro on Route 28, take a left onto Route 171 and then look to your left: you will see them near the corner at 5 Water Village Road (which is the same as Rte. 171). Their phone number is (603) 539-2272 should you need to make an appointment for your pet.

Thank-You to the Winter Harbor Veterinary Clinic

The Winter Harbor Veterinary Clinic at 667 North Main Street (Route 109) in Wolfeboro also keeps our fluffy people in good order. Please call the helpful staff there at (603) 569-3777 if your pet needs a check-up.

Does your Dog Need Training?

Please contact Canine Solutions (http://www.k9sts.com/) to get assistance on issues like: obedience, problem dogs, bite protection seminars and more. Call (207) 636-3124.

Does Your Workplace Have a "Volunteerism Policy"? ASK!

Sometimes companies allow either paid time off for an employee to do volunteer work, OR may make a donation to a non-profit cause where an employee devotes their off-work time to a charity. A typical volunteerism policy might be: for every eight hours that an employee puts towards a charity, the company will donate $100 to that charity, (up to a certain dollar limit per fiscal year per employee). Check with your Human Resources Department today to see if you can add some extra punch to your volunteer efforts with the backing of some corporate dollars for the LRHS animals!

Surrender, NOT Abandon

Especially with the inclement weather of New Hampshire, we strongly urge that people NOT abandon animals off-hours at the shelter. To leave an animal tied up outside a shelter, or left in a box, exposes the animal to inclement weather conditions, may render the animal defenseless against other animals of prey, and may otherwise endanger the animal. Sad DogLRHS has had a case where kittens were left in a large airtight tupperware container on the side of the road! In another case, a dog was tied to the railing of our porch. It jumped off and was hanging by it's neck when discovered. Most recently, a mother and her litter of nine kittens were abandoned in a filthy tent on the side of the road down aways from teh shelter. They were of course very traumatized.

LRHS encourages owners to know that surrendering an animal in person is okay, and may be the best thing to do for the welfare of the animal. This is a common occurrence and one of the main reasons we exist! By surrendering an animal the shelter is able to acquire important medical information, behavioral tendencies, etc., particular to that animal. Please be humane and do the right thing: surrender animals, don't abandon them.
