DELTA AREA ANIMAL SOCIETY - A new start on life

The Delta Area Animal Society is a non-profit group committed to promoting animal welfare and to educate the public on spay/neutering their animals. Although our primary emphasis is on dogs and cats, we are also concerned for well being of other animals.

The Delta Animal Society holds various fund raising events to generate sufficient funds for our various programs which are designed to help animals and our community.

The Delta Area Animal Society meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce. New members are welcome.

		Fur Ball - Annual dinner/theater

		Take a Hike - Take a hike with a pet you like, also known as the Walk A Thon.

		Picture Your Pet - [Description of fundraiser]

The monies raised are used to fund our programs such as:

		Spay/Neuter Program- We pay the costs to spay/neuter animals adopted from theDelta County Animal Shelter.

		Shelter Assistance Program - We provide support to the Delta County Animal Shelter by purchasing needed items such as Feline Leukemia test kits, a washer and dryer, a computer and a fence for the dog excercise area.

		Cinderella Vet Fund - Our Cinderella Vet fund assists low income individuals with spay/neutering costs. Primarily limited to dogs and cats.

		Veterinarian Discretionary Fund - Our Discretionary Fund helps low income people with their vet bills.

		Dog Training Rebate - A $20.00 rebate is offered to individuals that adopt a dog from the Delta County Shelter and successfully complete a dog training course.

Special Event Huge Success!

Our Kidʼs Day was a HUGE success on June 14th. Thanks to all who were able to come. Everyone had a good time and learned the basics of good pet care. For those of you who were unable to attend, we are looking at doing this again in January 2009 with additional fun stuff. Keep your eyes open for details later this year.
