Humane Society of the Delta
Army Reserve Civil Affairs Soldiers Extend Helping Hands to Furry Friends
A tiny chestnut brown Chihuahua mix slowly opened its eyes and let out a pitiful groan as if to say, “What just happened?”
With a gentle touch and a sweet caress, Army Reserve Spc. Michelle Millien, a veterinarian technician from Manhattan, N.Y., reached down and wrapped the shaking dog in a soft white towel and whispered in its ear, “It will be alright.”
Soon, the dog was fully alert and ready to go home – albeit, a little sore, but ready to go.
The little puppy was just one of the patients at St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Helena-West Helena, Ark., where members of the 431st Civil Affairs Battalion, Little Rock, Ark., and 4220th U.S. Army Hospital, Shoreham, N.Y., were holding a spay and neuter clinic as part of Joint Taskforce Razorback, an eleven-day Innovative Readiness Training event located in the heart of the Arkansas Delta Region.
By the time the event concludes, 103 dogs and 85 cats will be spayed and neutered by appointment at no cost to their owners or the event sponsor, the Humane Society of the Delta. Read more........

Humane Society work continues: Animal lovers, volunteers keep things moving
There have been mass improvements done inside and out of the Humane Society of the Delta without the help of some “soft hearted,” animal lovers and without willing volunteers it wouldn’t have been possible. In September 2010, the Humane Society of the Delta received an extremely generous donation of property for creating an adoption shelter. The property includes two existing structures on five acres. The existing structures had been vandalized and left with no copper or metal.
The HSD’s goal was to acquire funds and supplies needed to develop the shelter on the property between the two structures. Read more........

HSD Receives Giving Tree Grant
This little rescue dog Leonard was named after the late Dr. Leonard Pace. He fell sick after he was neutered. Just found out that a very special person went to the vet's office today to pay for Leonard's surgery. We are so thankful there are angels out there who care about the street dogs and rescues. These dogs deserve love and attention and a happy life. Thanking God for these acts of kindness. We know Leonard thanks his angel as well.
