Lexy Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 When my husband and I arrived here in 1997 we joined the only accredited animal shelter at the time. Can any old-timer recall its exact name? I'm thinking maybe Lake Chapala Humane Society AC. I appreciate your help. . . Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not either of these, it was before Geoffrey although he was involved, as were Diane Hazen, Gudrun Jones and a few others who still volunteer. I believe it was named after a man and cannot remember what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thanks, but no--not named after a man. It was, as I said, something like Lake Chapala Humane Society AC. In fact, it was where we first met Anita, who besides the vet was a paid volunteer, as she had duties that required her to show up every day. Anita's Animals was in the future. Maybe if I still have a current email addess for Geoffrey I'll send him a note. Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not Humane Society for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Lexy, your husband was President for at least 2 years. Maybe you have a few scraps of documents left hanging around? It was very close to, if not actually "Lake Chapala Humane Society A.C." When you remember the name of a man, you are remembering the Haack Foundation who leased that land to the society for $1 per year. But that family name was never involved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Haack Foundation is the name I could not remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thanks, all. I wasn't the one who mentioned that it was a man's name, luvsdawgs was. But now that it's mentioned, I recall that benefactor, too. I've just been told by a friend that my memory didn't fail me after all--Lake Chapala Humane Society AC is correct. Yes, Natasha, I do remember that my husband became the president. I simply drew a blank in trying to recall the name. Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Animal Shelter, AC sounds correct. Differently not a form of Humane Society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
