Blue Zones Project Walla Walla - Dogs and cats help us feel better

Pet's are good for us! Samantha Kelley from Blue Mountain Humane Society will discuss some of the health benefits having a pet provides. She will also cover how to adopt a pet from the Humane Society and what resources there are to take care of your pet as they take care of you. If you can't own a pet- that's okay! Kelley will explain how you can volunteer at the Humane Society

The Animal Health Foundation advocates having a pet for health benefits. Here are eight reasons to have a pet:

  1. Dogs help us get more physical activity.

  2. Pets are known to reduce stress and decrease cortisol levels.

  3. Having a pet can lower your blood pressure.

  4. Studies have found people with cats are 40% less likely to have a fatal heart attack.

  5. Pets can help alleviate depression.

  6. A seven-year study showed that babies who were exposed to dogs and cats were less likely to have allergies and risk factors for asthma. (Be cautious and consult a doctor)

  7. Some dogs can be trained to alert their owners if they detect a drop in blood sugar.

  8. Owning a cat cuts a person's risk for having a stroke by a third.

Samantha Kelley is the Volunteer Program Manager at Blue Mountain Humane Society.  From fish, hamsters & rabbits to cats & dogs, she has had pets her whole life. 

From Chattanooga, TN, Kelley and her family moved to Walla Walla in January of 2022. She is currently an active member in Rotary and AAUW.  She enjoys cooking, going to events around town, and of course, being with her family (both human and furry).

Saturday Open House

Join us for our Saturday Open Houses, held on the last Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., where you can make a difference in the lives of our furry friends. By attending these Open Houses, you not only get the opportunity to meet our friendly staff and observe a dog playgroup session but also spend quality time with our lovable animals who are eagerly awaiting their forever homes.

We believe in our mission to provide a better life for these furry friends, and our ultimate goal is to reduce the number of animals in our shelter. These Open Houses play a crucial role in achieving that goal. Together, let's find loving homes for as many animals as possible.

In addition to the June 24 Open House, we have an exciting announcement to share. We are proud to announce that our shelter has been approved by the Blue Zones Project Walla Walla Valley and they will be joining us to celebrate! We have implemented best practices to ensure a healthy and happy workplace for our employees. By supporting our shelter, you are not only helping animals but also contributing to the well-being of our staff.

Owning a pet has numerous health benefits. Pets can increase opportunities for exercise, encourage spending time outdoors, and promote socialization. Regular activities such as walking or playing with pets can help decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. Furthermore, pets can provide companionship and help manage feelings of loneliness and depression.

We invite you to come out and join us for a great day. Your presence and support can make a significant difference in the lives of these animals. Let's work together to find them loving homes and create a brighter future for all.
