A SPECIAL DAY OF CARING FOR CAMERON, BRYNN & DAINTRE
the phone call went something like this:-
(Paraphrasing) “WE live in Canada, but want to honour our grandmother, who loved animals. Rather than sitting around the house on the anniversary date of her death, we want to help animals”
Daintre and her two children, Brynn and Cameron arrived bright and early one day to help wherever they could at the shelter.
While we have to be vigilant in terms of safety, it was still possible for these wonderful folks to clean, and feed, provide fresh water and food, handle some of the mountainous laundry, and spend time with kittens needing love and affection.
What a clever and kind way to remember a loved one, and honour their grandmothers memory, who could only have been smiling from heaven whole heartedly approving of their selfless act.
Our special thanks to these wonderful children and their mother.

Paws weekend a success
Our thanks to Scott Grant, owner of Paws Antiques & Collectibles who hosted his first APPRAISAL WEEKEND at his wonderful store down on Endicott Street, Weirs, Laconia.
Many folks were able to find out what their special treasures were actually worth, and the proceeds, over $500, were gifted to the animals at New Hampshire Humane Society.
Our special thanks to Kyle Husfloen, appraiser, and to the hard working volutneers who ensured smooth running of the event.. Morgan, Jeanne, Mary, Jessica and Ann. 
We hope for an equally exciting event next August!

A very special benefactor - thank you Leo Sandy
While many folks say they care about the welfare of animals - some walk the walk, and talk the talk.
A gentleman that arrives weekly at New Hampshire Humane Society with a shopping cart full of items is Leo Sandy, well know columnist and peace activist. It stands to reason he means what he says, and god bless him for helping so many of the creatures who live here, until adoption day.
Some of you may know that cats spend on average 5 months before adoption, some remain much, much longer. (Sasha, recently adopted, was here for over one year!) Dogs, mostly find new homes relatively quickly, although with a pinching economy we have more surrendered than adopted on any given day. Still and all, dogs live at NHHS for just a few weeks. Leo’s kindness is appreciated more than we can ever convey, but all the staff know him well, his stewardship is something we never take for granted.
For the creatutre
“Thank you Leo!”
A very special benefactor, Leo Sandy visits weekly

Ticks, the bane of existence
Dr. Rich Montminy and Joann Fontaine, head of our medical team, use the first 4x Idexx Lyme disease test on Sampson.
With the special stewardship of the Lyman Pope Foundation, we are now able to fine tune the basic Lyme Disease test for all shelter dogs.
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes, while humans cannot be infected by heartworm disease, companion cats certainly can. The real enemy is the tick since certain species are vectors for some really serious illnesses, some with the propensity to cause harm in humans. With the upgrade to a 4-way Idexx SNAP test four of the most devasting diseases spread by insects that abound in New Hampshire: Heartworm, Anaplasma, Borrelia and Ehrlichia, shleter dogs will enjoy early detection of these pathogens.
Sampson’s test was negative for all, after which he was adopted by our Executive Director.

3 abuse cases in one week
- after his surgery to removed hundreds of embedded quills
JESSE: Old school ways allowed people to shoot their dogs no longer wanted, but we are more compassionate now, or so we thought. Jesse was going to be dispatched by his owner rather than seeking veterinary care. Thankfully the vet alerted us so we could quickly intervene. Lucky for Jesse, who got the treatment he needed.
OZZY: was rescued by law enforcement after being shot in the face with a BB gun and systematically starved. His life, imprisoned in a crate. He isn’t ready for adoption yet.. but we have hopes we can rehabilitate him physically, mentally and emotionally.

BILLY BEATEN WITH A RAKE BEFORE ARRIVING AT NHHS
BILLY
Billy is a hero.
At least in the eyes of all of us at New Hampshire Humane Society given his cruel handling before he arrived at our shelter on Meredith Center Road here in Laconia.
Animal cruelty is everywhere, perhaps more prevalent in certain areas, and most assuredly the result of serious problems with the humans who are guilty of such reprehensible conduct, and it IS conduct unbecoming of any right minded person.
Billy was lucky enough to be rescued from his attacker, who beat him many times with a garden rake….
Slowly we are gaining his trust with every new kind staff member and volunteer he meets. He is fine with women, men terrify him, he literally shakes with fear. Not to hard to figure out why!
Please, if you can help this wonderful, gentle young dog find his confidence again, we would surely love to meet YOU.
Looking for love in al the right places at NH Humane Society
ONLY positive training methods, only calm, assertive pack leadership skills, patience and understanding in abundance – the reward – a dog who will be loyal to the end.
If you can help support Billy while he is here, please consider a small donation for his ongoing care.
For more information about Billy, please call 524-3252 ask for the canine department, or check www.nhhumane.org
