BETTY
RAVELING
This month we are proud to
honor a woman with a huge heart and a dedicated spirit! Betty
Raveling has been involved with the Friends of Payson Humane
Society (FOPHS) since April 2006. She said the “impetus” to
help out the Humane Society came the day the pipes broke at the
shelter. When a call when out asking the public to help with
clean up, Betty knew it was time to get involved and, from then
on, her life was altered.
|
|
Two years later, Betty is the President
of FOPHS. It’s our Betty you will see at the Payson Humane Society table
(the same table she hauls from place to place) at any given event from
Payson to Pine to Strawberry. Betty says she tries to “hit every event in
the Rim Country!” She tells people about the shelter and the need for a new
building, she sells raffle tickets to help us feed and care for the animals,
and she encourages people to learn more about the Friends of Feral program.
She truly is the Ambassador of the Payson Humane Society.
Betty and her husband moved from their farm
in Minnesota to Payson in 2001, and lucky for us, it is here they intend to
stay!
Thank you, Betty, from the bottom of our
hearts. We love you! |

OUTSIDE
THE SHELTER:
Help supervise dogs in the play yard behind
the shelter. Each morning, dogs at the shelter are
taken to the area for an hour of exercising. They have
a great time running and playing and just being dogs.
And it's done wonders for relaxing them, helping shy dogs
become out-going, and making them more adoptable.
Several volunteers are needed to help keep this program
going. People need to be in good physical condition,
comfortable with handling 60 lb. dogs. The hours are
from 7:30-9:30 a.m., Monday through Saturday.
|
|
If you would like to be part of
this great program and can spare a couple of hours or so a week to make a
shelter dog's life more enjoyable, please call the shelter at 474-5590, and ask
for PATTI. |

GET SOME FRESH AIR
WALK A DOG
The Payson Humane
Society needs people to walk shelter dogs. The shelter dogs get
depressed when they have to stay in their kennels day after day.
|
|
They become more socialized and
more adoptable when they get to be around people. You will enjoy
seeing how much the dogs enjoy this. Some of the dog's "seize
the day" joy will rub off on you!
Volunteers must be age 16 or older, enjoy
being around dogs, be trained before walking dogs and be able to control the selected dog.
For more information, please contact: PATTI at (928)
474-5590, Email:
