Labor Day Weekend
WHITETAIL FARM, JOSEPH, OREGON
"Summer Barn Sale was a success! Over 3 weekends we made over $1500.00 from donated items. Thank you Wallowa County!"
Lots of folks donated their treasures. We had all kinds of household items, including furniture, which is always our best seller. Of course, all donated items were greatly appreciated! Donations for the barn sale as well as donations in dollars help to keep us moving forward with Humane Society expenses, especially our spay/neuter program, which is our biggest expense.
Major thanks to Carol for hosting the barn sales, and all the volunteers for this tremendous undertaking on behalf of Wallowa County Humane Society!
Opening day for the 2016 Wallowa County Farmers Market in downtown Joseph. The weather was bright and beautiful, bringing out the crowds to browse all the booths.

We’ll be at the Farmers Market one Saturday each month. Come on by and see what’s new and delicious. And if your four-legged friend is thirsty, we have a water bowl ready and waiting!

The kittens Hapa and Frosty were there with us, and they have now been adopted! They are adorable little fellas, and we’re happy to see them go to a great home.
Eleven volunteers participated in the Orientation, including two new members, a mother-and-daughter team!
We had a good time. Several volunteers who are leaders in their programs reported what they do. Susan gave us updates on pet therapy, a long-running and very popular program in the Wallowa County community.
Many thanks to Loree Osborne for baking fresh donuts to share for everyone, a delicious incentive for attending.
"Our annual Open House/Volunteer Recognition Party. Lots of visitors stopped by our Center to help us celebrate. Thank you to all our Volunteers!"
Our locally famous WCHS outreach trailer participated in this year's Watershed Festival, held each year on the last Friday in June at the Wallowa County Fairgrounds. The Watershed Festival is always a fun-filled event for kids and grown-ups, with many attractions that will both entertain and educate.
We handed out animal-related material for the kids, and sharing information about what we're doing for the people and pets of Wallowa County. No animals were adopted this year at the Festival, but we had lots of folks stop by to take a look!
