RC Humane Society Website
I haven't had the chance yet to visit the Randolph County Humane Society yet. However, I did go to their website and found out a lot of information about the shelter. This Humane Society will not accept any animal that someone has left outside the shelter. Any animal that is will be turned over to animal control where they most likely will be euthanized! I also was able to find out many different ways people can help out. You can become a member of the Humane Society and dues are used for programs like vet care and maintenance. Businesses can become a sponsor of the humane society. People can provide a temporary foster home for an animal and make more space in the shelter for abandoned animals. If you own a pet and feed them Purina brand food, you can cut out Weight Circles on the side of the bag and donate them. They can be converted into cash to cover some of the expenses the shelter has. You can even donate used electronics to help them raise money. I am excited to visit the shelter and I hope they will let me volunteer.

What you found is really interesting in my opinion. Why won't they take the animals left outside? Also, it might be worth while to find out if they have ever considered expanding the shelter. You mentioned businesses becoming sponsors of the shelter; could the shelter put these funds toward being able to take in more animals. Do they ever have fund-raising events such as walking a dog for a few miles? Kind of like the walks for curing cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of the purina bags is a good idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
Thanks for writing and I look forward to more.
