Harvey’s furry victims arrive in Walden
By GARY M. AYD
For the sixth time since July,
representatives of the Walden Humane
Society (WHS) were in attendance last
Wednesday at Wooster Grove Park in
Walden for the weekly concert in the
park.
Over that time, $650 has been raised
through donations for the shelter, and
three dogs, who were in attendance at one
of the four shows in which WHS brought
animals have been adopted this summer,
per an email by Rosanne Magrane, of
WHS.
“We have attended 6 concerts by invite
this
season,”
Magrane
said.
“At four of them
we brought dogs
with us.”
In addition to
the $650 raised,
bags of dog food
and other such
items have been
TRACEY CARVEL
donated, and the
WALDEN HUMANE
village of Walden
website has also
posted notifications when WHS was to be
in attendance at an upcoming concert.
Fifty to seventy-five people appeared
to be on hand on a typical night, weather
depending, per Magrane. Wednesday
featured donated hot dogs, chips and
drinks from Hannaford Supermarket,
with local girl scouts walking around and
hand delivering the food and drinks to
attendees.
Being on the heels of the tragic flooding
in Texas, WHS, like other Humane
Societies throughout the country has
taken a large influx of displaced shelter
animals. As of Saturday, a total of 10
animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey,
seven dogs and three cats, have been
taken in by WHS.
“We are anticipating more animals,”
WHS member Tracey Carvel said. “In
total we are expecting 13 new animals
this week, but we are unsure of the
breakdown.”
Brother Wolf, a logistics coordination
partner of many humane society
branches throughout the country has
played a significant role in ensuring the
arrival of the animals to Walden from
their displaced homes.
Already two animals from Texas have
found permanent homes. Interested
in adopting or volunteering? Visit
waldenhumane.org, or call (845) 778-5115
for more information.
