Uploaded on July 2022

Humane Society of the Ohio Valley is one of the oldest animal shelters in the U.S. Amber Dennison, chair of the shelter’s operations committee and recipient of a Healthy Pets Game Changer Award, shared the inspiring story of the shelter’s evolution from a high-kill shelter to one that now rarely resorts to euthanasia — and then only in cases of severe behavioral problems or illness.

Humane Society of the Ohio Valley is one of the oldest animal shelters in the U.S.; in 2015, a collective conscious decision was made to do everything they could to save every life that came into the shelter.

Animal shelters are rapidly evolving across the U.S., and there’s a need to coordinate so shelters that have too many animals can send them to those with not enough.

Dennison started out as a volunteer at the shelter and has found her passion in helping animals in need — and she wants everyone to know that we all have the power to make a difference.

While people sometimes avoid shelters, assuming them to be sad places, stopping in with a box of food or volunteering to walk a few dogs makes a significant impact.
