Review Details

OK, I may have some bias. I have been involved with the HSOV in one form or another for a little more than 8 years. I spent time and money there in the early part of that period painting, constructing and wiring the place for internet. More recently, I have been a board member for 6 years. I can tell you you have no idea how far this shelter has come in that time. While we have come a long way, we are definitely in need of a new physical plant. Sometimes it seems we are applying bandages to the wounds out there. Most recently, we find ourselves in need of a new water heater. OK, that's a fairly small thing, but you wouldn't believe the costs involved. A lot of people have come forward and have been helping the shelter with Zootoo's contest. I hope that this outpouring of support continues once the contest is over... no matter what the outcome.

The humane society of the ohio valley needs biased supporters like you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and providing some insight into the background and future hopes for the shelter.

I thank you so VERY much for all you have done, and you are so right. We need a new, updated facility that is not so expensive to just keep putting "bandaids" on. THAT - I cannot guarantee, although - I'm trying awfully hard! But - the future support - well, I can pretty well assure you that our HSOV WILL have that - no matter what the outcome of this contest. The wonderful, caring people who have come forward, and made a pact to keep helping - well, it is more than I could have ever hoped for - and we WILL be there - for this shelter and animals, long after March 31st. This makes us winners already!!!
