Tuba City Humane Society
Our Featured Pet...
this month is Romi and Remi,
Romi and Remi are two look alike brothers who were brought in at 4 months of age, and are now 5-6 years old. They were found near their dead mother. It is not certain if this trauma was the source of their shyness, but that has been their personality all their lives.
They are extremely bonded to one another so they would need to be placed together. They are shy at first, but once they know you and trust you, they are very affectionate.
Their fur is very curly and coarse and long. Their breed is not known, perhaps a Shepherd/Collie/Bernese Mountain dog mix? Romi and Remi enjoy being with other dogs - females better than males. They have not done well with cats. They are good with children once they know them. They do not like to spend much time in the house. They enjoy their dog-igloo and chew bones. Please contact Mary Jo Parys, in Tuba City, at (928) 283-4441.
News
June 2005
Tuba City Humane has many more animals available for adoption than are listed here on petfinder. We have very few chances to be online, and do most of our adoptions through meeting people, and on the phone. We also network quite a bit with the Second Chance Center in Flagstaff and the Arizona Humane Society, and Noah's Ark Animal Rescue, both of which are in Phoenix, AZ. We thank them for their help in placing animals into good homes. We are also very grateful to Dr. Carol Holgate, who maintains a private practice in Tuba City, and is the vet for Plateauland Mobile Veterinary Clinic, out of Flagstaff, who travel around the reservation and northern Arizona performing clinics focusing on spay/neuter and animal health. There is a wonderful article about Dr. Holgate on the Best Friends web site. There are also online articles about the Spay/Neuter Partnership's efforts to provide humane education and mobile spay/neuter services to Tuba City in May, 2005. See the articles here and here.
We also want to thank Best Friends Animal Society for accepting some of our special needs animals in the last year, including Trey, a very sweet 3-legged yellow lab, Winnie, a blue heeler who had been injured by a bullet when she was very young, and most recently, Wierd Al, who fell from a 3rd story window and as a result had symptoms of brain injury. We are a small group, and if we weren't able to move these animals into another placement, we wouldn't be able to keep helping the strays in need in Tuba City. Thanks for partnering with us!
We always welcome community support, including donations, adoptions, and foster families to help in the rescue effort.
Who We Are
Tuba City Humane Society is a nonprofit organization founded in May, 1994, by a small group of community members who were concerned about the overpopulation problem of dogs and cats roaming the community.
Our objectives are: to rescue as many stray dogs and cats as our resources will allow and to bring them to a state of health for adoption; encourage and educate the community on the importance of immunizations and spay/neuter surgery for their pets; educate the community on the proper care and training of their pets.
Tuba City used to have a shelter, but it has been closed for several years. For lack of a central shelter, our group is composed of several foster homes. All of our rescued animals are spayed/neutered by Plateauland Mobile Veterinary Clinic and then set up for adoption through humane shelters or no-kill shelters in Flagstaff, or Phoenix, or adoption via petfinder.
Please visit Desert Animal Companions, a website for all of the groups working to help solve the animal overpopulation problem on the Navajo Nation. There is information on all of the groups, and updates on current activities.
