For the past 20 years, the Haywood County Humane Society has spent tens of thousands of dollars assisting the lost and homeless animals in our county.
For many years, they would “pull” dogs from their shelter and foster them until they could travel to rescues in order to be adopted. Now, for the most part, the rescues are brought here. To keep our animals healthy, we spend thousands of dollars partnering with our shelter.
Some of the ways in which we help the animals include purchasing medicines, shot trays, paying veterinary bills, buying fans, new fencing, special dog beds, dog houses and transportation. Also, a Shelter Board was established to oversee the shelter. Several Humane Society members sit on that board.
If you are interested in helping to continue our support of the animals, you can make a donation by contacting us anytime!
As always, we thank you for your continued support of a cause that means so much to so many! The animals cannot thank you with words, but they will always wag a grateful tail.
