"We thought it was a good opportunity for us to use our messaging capability and our outreach to help them accomplish that, so the Humane Society does a lot of good things in the community. We partner with them for housing animals and some other services and we want to be able to give back to them and help them meet their goals," said Richard Mello, Lebanon police chief.
West Lebanon Feed & Supply is teaming up with the department for the cause by offering discounts for customers who purchase the supplies that the society needs.
We're trying to do our part asking the community to come out, pitch in as well and hopefully make it a huge drive for them," said Ira Richards, vice president of marketing and business development for West Lebanon Feed & Supply.
The items most needed by the Upper Valley Humane Society are:
Gift cards are a tremendous help to our homeless pets! Gift cards to local grocers, office and building supply stores, and other retailers allow UVHS to purchase the items homeless pets need most when they need them.
