“Our clients are homeless animals…….we hope to be out of business someday”

Most people have no idea how much money it takes to run an animal shelter.  At our shelter, the food bill alone is $1000.00 a month.  The electric bill is $500-600 a month in the WINTER.  In the summer, with air conditioning needed, it goes well over $1000.00 a month.  Then there is the gas, phone, water and trash service.  Our veterinary bill is between $1200-1500 a month and that is if no one needs emergency care and that rarely happens.  There are employees to pay that care for the animals while waiting for homes.  The animal shelter is a 24/7 operation, no holidays or weekends are taken.  The medications including flea treatments and deworming supplies run several hundred dollars a month.  We do 18-20 loads of laundry a DAY to keep the animals healthy and in a clean environment.  Sheltering homeless animals has to be done right, which means every animal needs to receive the care they need to be comfortable until their family comes.  HELP Humane Society prides ourselves in taking exemplary care of the animals in our charge.  Our shelter is a no kill cageless facility and we need your help.  Our goal is to have 1500 people to donate $10-20 (or more) a month by automatic funds transfer, this will just cover our basic expenses.  This is a tax deductible donation as we are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.  We do not receive any city, state or federal government monies, we survive on individual donations alone.  Please consider being a shelter buddy, just think what your donation combined with others can do…..  These homeless animals did not ask to be in the situation they are in; it is our responsibility to care for them.  We are happy to help these helpless animals but we have GOT to have YOUR help.  Please answer our plea for help to help them with a monthly contribution!
