The mission of Heart of the Valley is to compassionately shelter the lost and surrendered pets of Gallatin and Madison Valleys, and to enhance the lives of people and companion animals through pet adoption and education.

                                        Announcements

	Join Heart of the Valley in celebrating Pets, Love and Happiness on Saturday, September 11th from 11:00 - 5:00. Activities will include Dock Diving, Doxie Derby, Bozeman’s Fastest Dog, a Herding Demonstration, Therapy Dogs, the Kids Corral, Food, Beer, Pet Idol, and much more! For more information and a detailed schedule, please click here!
	Attention Potential Volunteers! Much to our embarassment, the dates for volunteer orientations published in our newsletter are INCORRECT. Correct dates are August 7th, September 4th and October 2nd, all at 10am. Call 388-9399, ext. 100 to sign up.
	Feline Fundays! HOV’s first annual Feline Fundays was a huge success, with a record 58 cats finding their “forever homes!” We were especially happy to see several of our “long stay” and senior cats find new homes. Watching these cats leave our shelter with their new families was as heart-warming as witnessing visitors pouring into our shelter. Many attendees were making their first trek to Heart of the Valley (and finding that we’re not so “far away”!). Refreshments, a free drawing and kitten cuddling were also big hits.
	Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter will be closed to the public on Tuesday, August 31st in order to facilitate a staff team-building and retreat day. The shelter will re-open on Wednesday, September 1st for usual business hours, 11:30am to 5:30pm.
