Humane Society for
Hamilton
County Receives $10,000 Grant
Noblesville, Ind., April 1, 2009 – The Humane Society for
Hamilton Country received a $10,000 grant from Legacy Fund,
a CICF affiliate. The grant will be used to assist the
shelter in extending its reach within Hamilton County and
raise awareness about the shelter, the services it provides
to the community, and the educational opportunities that
exist at the shelter.
“We are very grateful for this grant,” said Executive
Director Rebecca Stevens. “We will use it to enhance our
reach and overall public awareness about our facility. The
Hamilton County community should be proud of its humane
society that places dogs and cats into homes at a rate that
is nearly three times the national average for humane
societies and animal shelters.”

About the Humane Society for Hamilton County
The Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) is a
non-profit 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. It is not a
United Way Agency, and is not affiliated with any other
animal welfare group in the United States. The HSHC also
serves as the animal control facility for Hamilton County,
and, as such, receives partial funding from Hamilton County.
The majority of the HSHC budget is funded by private donors.
The HSHC will not euthanize animals for space and time, and
will treat sick and injured animals if there’s an outlook
for recovery and a high quality of life. Many animals are
hit-by-car injured, heartworm-positive, malnourished, or
otherwise wounded and/or sick. The HSHC will provide most of
these animals with life-saving treatments, surgeries and
medications as their best chance for a second chance and
until they are re-homed.
