An extraordinary animal shelter, where caring and respect make all the difference

 Pets of the Month!
A big thank you goes out to Waldorf Ford and Dodge for coming out and filming our wonderful animals here at HSCC!

 
Honeys Fund

Many of you may have heard about Honey. She came to us in October 2009 after being hit by a car which resulted in multiple pelvic fractures.  She is the sweetest girl around, and touched the hearts of many of us here at the shelter. Thankfully she has found her forever home...
Sometimes animals come to us with injuries like Honey's and the medical expenses exceed our normal vetting costs. To offset the costs of these medical emergencies, we have started a new campaign "Honey's Fund." All donations received from Honey's Fund will go directly to injured animals in our care.

In 2011 generous supporters just like you helped us meet our Honey’s Fund goal. That money helped save the lives of countless injured and ill animals like Darby, Shiloh, Roscoe, Zingo, Chloe, Mason, Sparrow and numerous others.

          

              

This year we would love to be able to save just as many, more even... And we can only do that with your help.

Look at who we're helping now... 

Meet Veronica


My name is Veronica. My owners left one day. I thought they were just running to the store, maybe to get supplies for the upcoming holidays. I love the holidays. I waited for them to come back, peeking out the windows of our now empty house every time I heard a sound. But they never came back. I waited and waited and waited. I’m told several weeks went by, for me it felt like years. Did I mention the house was empty? Empty of everything, even food.

Finally a nice gentleman saw me peeking out the window of a house he knew had been foreclosed on over a month ago. He knew there was no one inside to take care of me, had seen them pack up their belongings and leave, and knew that I must be in sad shape. Luckily he brought me here to the Humane Society.

When I arrived I could barely move, and I hardly knew what was going on. The staff rushed me back to the Veterinarian. My temperature was too low to register when I first arrived. I weighed only 2.9 pounds and they were very concerned for my life. They staff warmed me up, and once I started to feel better I started to eat as much as I could get a hold of. Turns out I really like wet food. Can’t really stand the dry stuff but I’ll eat it just to make the people here happy. It has only been a week since my arrival at the Humane Society, and already I weigh 3.7 pounds, still far too slim for an adult cat. 

Please help us go the extra mile with more animals like Veronica, animals who deserve a fair chance at a full life. To help simply Click Here and make a donation to Honey's Fund. Every penny donated to Honey's Fund goes directly to the care of sick and injured animals.

Last year we spent over $30,000 to care for sick and injured animals, and this year we are well on our way to exceeding that amount. Please be a voice for the animals, please donate to their chance at life.
