This year MVHS attended the 4th of July celebration at Wheatfield Park. We had a booth alongside other community clubs and service organizations. We distributed information on low cost spay neuter clinics, our rescue activities in the community, and raffled off a 21 speed bicycle and a wagon for kids.

Many thanks to all who stopped by to give support and for the generous donations and purchase of raffle tickets. Special thanks to our teen volunteers Alexis, Lauren, and Nathan who stayed all day and night to help out!

The Menifee Valley Humane Society held a pet food drive at the Stater Brothers markets in Menifee and the Canyon Hills shopping center on Saturday April 7th, 2012.

Lots of cat and dog food was collected to feed the orphaned pets.

Many thanks to Stater Brothers markets for allowing us to collect in front of their store, and thanks to all the kind folks who donated food, supplies, and money to help the pets!

Meet Envy... I know it is hard to look at her pictures but it is reality. On January 7th I (Nina) got a call from a friend about a dog and her babies abandoned in a vacant garage. Upon arrival I found Envy and her 5 puppies starving and left to die.

At first I just wanted to cry because looking at Envy broke my heart. Then I got mad and realized it was all on me to get these sweet babies help.

In September of 2010 MVHS was advised of a home in Menifee that had a Mama cat and a litter of 4 kittens living in a backyard. Animal Control had also been called and were coming to get the cats as they were feral and becoming annoying to the local families. Had Animal Control gotten to them before we did they would have all been put to sleep.

Betty Cargile, a longtime member and a former director of MVHS, died on April 22. Though she will be sorely missed by her family, her friends and the cats she has left behind, we are certain that she has been greeted by many, grateful, rescued animals who preceded her.
