Humane Society

meets tomorrow

The Rappahannock Humane Society announces a public meeting tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Washington Fire Hall.

The new organization has spent the summer fielding complaints about several types of animal abuse.

RHS President Vince Hannon said the complaints originated in calls from county and state officials, as well as from the general public.

“Rappahannock citizens need to know about our activities and the kinds of treatment animals receive here,” Hannon said. “What we need now is a show of support.”
