President & CEO
Thanks to the generosity of a very special donor, your final donation of 2021 to the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000 through the rest of today.
Donate before 11:59 p.m. tonight to DOUBLE your life-saving impact on Hamilton County and Hoosier animals. Yesterday, four animals were transferred to HSHC from Indianapolis Animal Control Services (IACS). Yesterday, Jester was scheduled for euthanasia due to his medical condition and the lack of space at IACS, but donations to HSHC’s Survivor Program this year made it possible to give him a second chance.
In fact, HSHC set a record this year saving over 1,000 animals at risk for euthanasia in other Indiana shelters. That’s right – over 1,000 Hoosier animals from outside Hamilton County in addition to 3,100 Hamilton County animals.
HSHC relies 100 percent on donations to its Survivor Program to fund all live-saving medical care and the cost of saving animals from outside Hamilton County like Henry, Jasper, Sharona, and Towser.
Henry
Henry’s ear had to be removed due to unknown trauma. He’s currently experiencing bilateral ear infections and may require additional surgery.
Jester
At just one year old, Jester has been diagnosed with heart disease and a significant heart murmur requiring life-long medication. He was scheduled for euthanasia this week if not rescued by another organization.
Sharona
Sharona is very depressed after being surrendered by her owner. She’s considered “rescue only” due to an ulcer on her upper lip that needs to be surgically removed.
Towser
Extremely frightened, Towser is a senior Beagle mix found with significant lacerations on his face. He may have vision impairment.

HSHC’s Survivor Program fund is tapped out, so time is of the essence. With dozens of daily pleas for help awaiting a response, every dollar counts. And until tonight at midnight, it counts twice.
That’s why I hope you’ll consider helping HSHC replenish its Survivor Program fund with a tax-deductible donation today.
On behalf of the HSHC team and the animals served, I sincerely thank you for supporting us. May the New Year fill your cup with good health, peace, and the unconditional love of a pet.
