| The mission of the Cocheco Valley Humane Society is to make possible a better world for all animals by providing shelter, educating the community about humane care and treatment, advocating animal welfare, and promoting the human-animal bond. | |
| Cocheco Valley Humane Society has been caring for our community's homeless pets since 1984. | |
| Spaying or neutering your pet reduces unwanted litters and can minimize the risk of many cancer ralated pet illnesses. | |
| CVHS reunites lost pets with loved ones. | |
| The shelter plays an active role in spay/neuter education. | |
| Staff and volunteers conduct outreach programs such as rabies and micro-chipping clinics in cooperation with local veterinarians. | |
| CVHS teaches pet ownership responsibility to local youngsters through the Classroom Critter program. | |
| The CVHS foster home care program provides for special needs animals awaiting adoption. | |
| Hundreds of volunteers give their time and energy to homeless animals by performing administrative duties, volunteering for special events, and cleaning, feeding, and socializing the animals. | |
