Spay Day USA - February 2010

The Central Dakota Humane Society will recognize Spay Day USA in February 2010 by offering $15 spay/neuter assistance certificates to help people spay or neuter their pets. People can call the shelter at 667-2020 to request their certificate. Certificates can be redeemed at all local and several central North Dakota veterinary clinics.

Thanks go to Dr. Jim and Jane Clinkenbeard of Devils Lake for their ongoing support of our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program, and to the other generous donors who have made this program possible.

Give a Day. Get a Day with Disney

Previously registered CDHS volunteers can arrange to perform their regular volunteer duties (walking dogs, critter companion, office help, etc.)

Volunteers who are not registered with CDHS as a volunteer can perform a Needs List Collection. To complete the Needs List Collection, 10 items from the Needs List must be delivered to the shelter during open shelter hours. The delivery of the donation must be accepted and verified by a CDHS staff member. Each family member who is interested in completing this volunteer activity will need to donate 10 items (i.e., a family of 4 will need to donate 40 items from the Needs List). Once this is done CDHS will confirm that the Needs List Collection has been completed and you will need to complete the information at the Disney web site.
