Upper Valley Humane Society (UVHS) is a non-profit animal shelter, adoption center, and animal services organization serving the Upper Valley Region of Vermont and New Hampshire. UVHS provides adoption opportunities, as well as services to help pets stay with their families including a pet food pantry, community spay/neuter clinics, and temporary emergency boarding for the pets of people in in crisis (e.g. domestic violence, homelessness, and medical issues). It helps reduce over population and saves lives by helping property owners with cat colonies through its Trap-Neuter-Return program and barn cat adoptions. UVHS also works with dozens of towns, providing stray animal holding and assistance to police on cruelty and neglect cases.
