In our time of need, we give kudos to Bert Fish Medical Hospital in New Smyrna Beach for stepping outside the box by sacrificing themselves to help others. These others being our four-legged, furry, friends at the Southeast Volusia Humane Society.

Have you ever met the Ropps? Sounds like a great movie, doesn’t it? “ Meet the Ropp’s…” If you haven’t, let me tell you about this wonderful family that truly gives from their heart.

What is all this hustle and bustle that I am talking about? It’s our new overnight holding pens. We certainly needed a new look in the front lawn of the shelter. The new holding pens are bigger, safer, warmer, roomier, and much nicer looking. Tom takes a few scraps of donated lumber, fencing, and this and that and re-builds to make things look awesome. Also, thank you to Bob B. and Justin for volunteering your time and hard work to help Tom make our shelter look it’s very best.

A special thanks to the volunteers from the Home Depot and Tom for their help with installing a new roof on our shed.

Thank you to all of the wonderful members of the SEVHS Facility Improvement Commitee.

Southeast Volusia Humane Society would like to thank Advanced Heat and Air for their generosity and hard work. In July 2009, Advanced Heat and Air donated and installed an air conditioning/heat unit in the new cat room/infirmary at the shelter, for FREE! A Big Meow Thank You Goes Out to Advanced Heat & Air!

Girl Scouts Troop 183 visited the shelter on Monday, March 30, 2009. The girls collected donations for the shelter. Susie, the shelter manager, did a little class with them and spoke about the shelter. They took a tour of the shelter cats and dogs that were available for adoption.

HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY! Congratulations for a great first year! SEVHS would like to extend an extra, special, thank you to radio station WSBB-AM 1230 in New Smyrna Beach, for their continued love and support of the shelter and animals.

Every year, Ropp’s Auto Electric has their annual Christmas party to benefit the SEVHS shelter.

On Friday, September 27, 2008, Sebastian was named King of the Court at his high school homecoming! Amongst his other achievements, he was specifically acknowledged for his community service hours at the shelter.

Sidney asked for gifts to give to the animals instead of gifts for herself. This pic shows what was given to her by her party guests to benefit and help the animals at SEVHS.

Claudia asked party guests to give to the animals for her birthday. Thanks Claudia!

Lauren collected donations this summer for the animals. Thanks Lauren!

Laura and Caitlyn gave food, cleaning supplies, blankets, litter, and LOVE!

Elliot asked everyone to bring presents for all the animals instead of gifts for himself on his birthday. Thanks Elliot!

A big THANK YOU to the cubs for visiting and bringing food for the animals.
