Dear Friends, Family, and Colleagues,
Every day at Blue Mountain Humane Society, I witness the resilience of animals who have endured hardship and the incredible transformations that happen when they receive the care they deserve. Some arrive scared, neglected, or in pain. But with patience, medical care, and compassion, they heal—both physically and emotionally.
One of those animals was Miley.
Miley came to us so severely matted that we could barely tell what kind of dog she was. She was terrified, earning the nickname “Spicy Mop Dog” because of her defensive little growls and scrappy attitude. I was there as our team carefully shaved away her tangled fur, revealing not just skin, but hidden wounds—a fishhook tangled in her coat and a shotgun BB embedded under her skin.
With each step of her recovery, she changed. As we removed the painful remnants of her past and treated her with kindness, the fear faded. Miley softened. She became less spicy, more trusting. And before long, she found the loving home she deserved.
What Makes BMHS Stand Out
BMHS does more than provide shelter—we offer hope and healing. Our in-house veterinary clinic ensures that animals like Miley receive critical medical care. With a full-time veterinarian and dedicated staff, we provide:
- Preventive care like vaccinations, spay/neuter services, and microchipping
- Urgent medical attention for neglected and injured shelter animals
- Affordable vet services for income-qualified pet owners in our community
This work is only possible with support from people like you.
How You Can Help
Your donation directly changes lives:
- $20 provides essential vaccinations for a pet.
- $50 microchips two shelter animals, helping them find their way home if lost.
- $100 covers a spay or neuter procedure, preventing unnecessary suffering and overpopulation.
Every gift ensures animals like Miley get the care they need to heal and find loving homes.
