Education Program

Please join us for our informational seminars. Subjects varies from Unwanted Dog Behaviors to Dog to Basic Obedience and Dog Tricks. It's a great way to learn new ways to mentally stimulate your pup and have fun finding new ways to bond with him/her! Sue Sternberg, noted dog behaviorist has been gracious enough to volunteer many of her seminars to the HSMV. For more information including dates and times, please see our News and Events Section.

HSMV also provides school & business presentations. We cover age appropriate facts on what our role in the community is and how we help the homeless and unwanted pets in Moab Valley. Please contact our office to schedule a presentation for your class room or organization.

Seniors For Seniors Program

Regardless of age, pets bring love and joy to our lives as well as positively impact our health and change how we see the world. When you adopt a senior dog or cat you will not only benefit from their companionship but you will give an older pet the comfort and love they deserve.

Our Animal Coordinator will help each adopter find the perfect match to help bring a wonderful pet into your home. And, our Seniors for Seniors program offers qualifying seniors with a discount.

Please call 435-259-4862 for more details and information.
