Former VVHS Employee Wins Statewide Animal Control Award
Cottonwood Animal Control Office Autumn Durnez was recently named Arizona’s Animal Control Officer of the year. The award was given by the Arizona Animal Control Association (AZACA). She was one of ten nominees and was honored for her unwavering commitment to the profession and to the welfare of animals in the Cottonwood community. “For me, the most rewarding part of the job is helping a local citizen and animal improve whatever their circumstances are,” Durnez told the Verde Independent newspaper. Durnez has been with the Cottonwood Police Department for 14 years and she started her career in her 20s as kennel manager at the Verde Valley Humane Society. Congratulations Autumn. You are a key player in the relationship between the city and VVHS and we are proud to consider you as one of us.
Amante Polar Plunge Generates a Splash of Donations
On a breezy March 30 afternoon, the Amante neighborhood in the Verde Santa Fe community held its annual Polar Plunge event to benefit the VVHS. Participants braved the not-yet-heated Amante clubhouse pool and generated almost $1,000 in pledges and spontaneous donations. There were eight “plungers” in total, with two eager “young ladies” leading the way. Shown here are Rose Cossart, Amante Social Activities Committee chair (center) presenting the donations to Maxine Belcher (right) VVHS Board President and Alice Klies, VVHS Vice President.

Meet our featured pet to adopt, Ginger!
Ginger the energetic smoochie has an adorable yellow lab look. If you are a fan of smart and sassy, she just may be your gal. Ginger is young and athletic, a nice medium size and always looking for adventure. She will make a great hiking buddy and can keep up on the longest of hikes. Ginger is brave and curious. She has been easy to teach basic commands and will hop up on just about anything if you ask. Maybe agility training is in her forever life plan? Ginger is Pets for Patriots eligible (www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/)
