It is estimated that there are nearly 18,000 dogs and over 20,000 cats within the Umatilla and Morrow County area. Each year there may be as many as 6000 of our Best Friends homeless and in need of proper care and adequate shelter. This is totally unacceptable.........hut, you can do something to fix the problem. You may find this hard to believe, hut if every man, woman, and child in the two-county area donated 5 cents a day (that’s just $18.25 for the year) there would be enough money for building a new animal shelter to provide compassionate care and humane treatment for these needy animals. PHS Board Members are com m itted to building a new shelter and providing needed services, but cannot do it alone. Please join with your family, friends, neighbors, and business associates.........add your name to the Pioneer Humane Society’s Best Friends Registry* by donating just $18.25 ........or more if you can afford it to make up for those who just do not have the spare funds, and for those who just don’t care about humane treatment, to: Pioneer Humane Society RO.
