AHNA October 2014 Newsletter

We are the Lead Sponsor for A Taste of Compassion!
 For many years, AHNA has appreciated and supported the work that Asheville Humane Society does to save and improve the lives of our local homeless pets. Asheville Humane Society never turns away a needy or homeless animal from our community, so along with all the appealing pets that are easy to adopt out, they take in the injured, the old, the "less attractive" and the hard to place. Asheville Humane Society gives every Buncombe County animal a chance, and this year they saved 5,599 lives of homeless pets in our community. Wow! To learn more about the wonderful work that Asheville Humane Society does to help the animals of our community, and to get your ticket to Taste of Compassion, please Click Here.

Mourning the Loss of a Very Special Veterinarian
 All of us at Animal Hospital of North Asheville are deeply saddened by the unexpected death of Dr. Sophia Yin, one of the world's most respected and important veterinary behaviorists. Dr. Yin was a pioneer in the field of fear-free/low stress handling of patients in veterinary hospitals and shelters, and of force-free positive reinforcement training for pets. Animal Hospital of North Asheville was among the first to buy her book and use her training videos and materials. We treasure the knowledge she imparted to us and will continue to honor her every day as we strive to provide low stress care to our dear patients. As an example of how far we have carried her teachings, last year we gave out more than $10,000 worth of various types of treats to our patients to distract them from fear - Click Here to read more.

at AHNA is to provide the highest level of medical, dental and surgical

and kind; to have as our first priority, relief of their pain and
discomfort and to strive to minimize separation from the people they
love.
