We had a not so pleasant surprise this evening at the end of the day. Luckily our staff had just finished cleaning up for the day and only had a few more water buckets to fill when all the water hoses instantly lost pressure.

At 4:45pm we desperately called around to multiple Well Drilling companies and thankfully found Kelly's Pump Service who was willing to send a crew out so late in the day. We are extremely thankful for them!

On another note, it's not secret that replacing a well pump is expensive. If you'd like to help support project fresh water for the puppies and kitties use the link to donate.

Thank you all so much for everything you do!

The shelter is experiencing phone issues this morning. Calls are going in and out and some people are unable to get through. The lines suddenly drop and are unable to let calls come through. Thank you for your patience while this gets resolved.

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT - LOST DOG!!! This is Piper, she unfortunately got away from her new parents on Monday 3/24/25 and has not been found. She is friendly but can be pretty timid with new people and surroundings. She is a 33lb female and ran away from a residence near Peachtree Fire Department. If you see her please call Valley River Humane Society at 828-837-2304! Please help by sharing to get the word out!

Queen B is already proving to be such an amazing mom. She had a quick and easy birthing process with her first baby being born at 8:45pm and #5 baby at 11:00pm. Everyone is now cuddled up and resting! Thank you all who wished her luck!

UPDATE: We currently have three healthy puppies so far!!! First baby was born at 8:45pm. Two more to go! ❤️🐾

Meet Queen B. Tonight she gets special attention and also is having a sleep over at our managers house so that she can be under close supervision throughout the night. She has 5 rather large babies in that tummy that are waiting to come out any minute! We are worried she may not beable to do it on her own and may need a c-section. Only time can tell at this point. Help us root her on and hope for a healthy natural birth! We will keep you updated!

The sweet Mama and daughter duo are still looking for their forever home.

Since they are in foster , they get overlooked. They are in a foster “room” since the foster home has too many of their own cats…these girls deserve a home to roam and play in.

They play together and snuggle in the same bed 🤗

Nettle is 8 months old, still small in size, that’s FULL of fun energy. She’s the happiest cat you’ll ever meet.

The Mama, Atiye, is soft and sweet and loves human affection.

You’ll have the best of both worlds , a kitten (Nettle) that’s full of play and Atiye who loves to sit on your lap and get hugs and kisses all while entertaining each other. They are both small in size, perfect for a lap kitty 🤗

Call the shelter to schedule a meet/ greet

They will go home with a bag full of their favorite toys and food 🙂
