Animal Humane Society to pause operations during first week of November

The Animal Humane Society announced last week that it will pause services at the beginning of November.

The pause in operations will run from Nov. 2 to Nov.9.

According to a release from the organization, all shelters and vet centers will be closed for that week.

AHS cited the COVID-19 pandemic as a major reason for the closure.

"Although we can’t eliminate the stress and uncertainty facing our communities, we can take proactive steps to support the well-being of our staff and volunteers. That’s why we’ve decided to pause our services for a few days to provide some additional paid time off to our employees. We believe it’s the right thing to do," AHS said in a statement.
