Hirst Family Charitable
Fund Grants $20,000
To The Humane Society For Hamilton County
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., November 27, 2007 – $20,000 was
awarded to The Humane Society for Hamilton County by the
Hirst Family Charitable Fund, a fund of Legacy Fund
Community Foundation. The grant was distributed for general
use and will help fund the daily operation of the shelter
such as medical supplies, veterinary care, basic supplies
and food.
“We’re honored to be the recipient of such a generous
gift,” said Rebecca Stevens, Executive Director for the
Humane Society. “The Hirst Family contribution will make a
significant impact on the lives of the thousands of homeless
and unwanted animals we serve.”
The Humane Society for Hamilton County will receive
approximately 3,500 animals in 2007 of which 90% will be
placed into loving homes or reunited with their families.
The national average placement rate is 25%.
The mission of the Humane Society for Hamilton County
(HSHC) is to provide a compassionate and healthy environment
for the homeless animals in our care until they can be
placed into permanent, loving homes. The HSHC strives to
promote responsible pet ownership and reduce the suffering
caused by pet overpopulation and animal cruelty by offering
low cost spay/neuter solutions and education.
