Learn about the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley with guest speaker Jill Henderson at the Redlands Community Senior Center’s Dessert and Dialogue program from noon to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 11.
The Humane Society of San Bernardino has been helping animals since 1970. Their mission statement is to prevent cruelty and neglect to animals; to educate children and all members of the community about animal welfare issues; and to provide for the health and well-being of animals with an emphasis on spay/neuter to prevent pet over-population. Accomplish this mission through their low cost spay/neuter and vaccination clinic and humane education and the cruelty investigation departments.
Henderson will give a brief history of the HHSBV, review their current programs and services (with a focus on those for seniors) and share opportunities for involvement such as volunteering. Their humane education teacher and furry friends will then showcase some of their day-to-day skills and do a meet and greet with the group!
