The Caroline County Humane Society has many wonderful dogs and cats looking for loving homes. www.carolinehumane.org
Today’s economy has hit the animal sheltering community in general, and the Caroline County Humane Society specifically, very hard. Donations are down. The numbers of animals coming into our shelter are up; more and more of them as owner “give ups”. We hear of foreclosures, and job loss; families moving and leaving their companions behind. Animals with medical problems that their families cannot not afford to address. Stray animals never reclaimed. Increased numbers of cruelty and neglect cases that we investigate and act upon.
We are continuously filled to over-capacity, which puts an additional strain on our already tight budget. Day after day, we see the sad faces of these animals. It then becomes OUR responsibility to give them shelter, medical care, attention, affection, solace….and the chance for a new home.
Our members, donors and supporters are the “wind beneath our wings”. Without the generosity of so many, we would not be able to continue to offer the best care to our animals. Our staff members and board of directors are committed to the cause. But, we cannot do it alone!
That is why we are asking you to JOIN US in our struggle to care for our abandoned, abused, neglected and homeless animals. Become a member, and/or donate to a specific fund. Every bit helps.. On behalf of the animals that we serve, we would like to thank you in advance for any help that you can give.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
