The Animal League of Green Valley never stopped working to get pets adopted during the pandemic, but they had to change the way they operated.
Since March 2020, the shelter had its doors closed to the public, opting for appointment-only adoptions to limit the amount of people inside with their reduced number of volunteers and COVID-19 protocols.
On Thursday, TALGV held a soft reopening, allowing visitors to come in without an appointment.
Though operations are going âback to normal,â they are implementing new policies moving forward.

Covidâs a rough one. After more than a year, itâs hard to recall the old norm. And contemplating the new one â whatever thatâll be â is daunting.
At least one heartening throwback may be returning, though â the therapy dogs who visit school kids to help them learn to read, and assisted living and memory care centers, where they provide companionship and break up the routine. Itâll be a while yet, but the drivers say âabsolutelyâ theyâre hoping to reinstate dog calls.
For Green Valley resident Joyce Lepak, fostering animals is not something she does out of pure enjoyment but out of purpose.
âThe purpose being is all these creatures are entitled to a good life,â she said. âFor all pets, home is a better environment than a shelter, so that s why I take the little creatures that need extra help.â
Lepak has been a volunteer with the Animal League of Green Valley for about nine years, and two years ago, she began fostering.
Her own dog Ella is from the Animal League and is the perfect partner for homing dogs temporarily, as Ella likes everyone.
