Benefits of Corporate Sponsorship
Our Corporate Sponsorship Program has a proven record of driving new business to our sponsors.
Unlike the single purchase of an expensive print advertisement or radio buy that runs alongside your competitors’, our Corporate Sponsorship Program cuts through all that advertising noise with multiple ways to reach new customers throughout the year.
Our program provides businesses a multi-layered marketing strategy that:
- Kicks things off with a social media announcement of our partnership and your support of the animals to over 113,000 loyal social media followers.
- Reach a captive audience (over 3,000 adopters) each year with your brochure or special offer in every outgoing adoption packet – a benefit reserved for only Corporate Sponsors.
- Features your logo in the lobby of our new facility Welcome Center.
- Includes opportunities to reach our support base via HSHC’s social media outlets, website, e-blasts, and marketing events.
The cost to acquire new customers is always more expensive with a “shotgun” approach to advertising. Unless you have no competition, both you and your competitors are probably advertising in the same places: print ads in the newspaper/local magazine publications, local radio stations, billboards, and television. We don’t have to tell you how expensive it is.
However, our program provides multiple ways to reach a very loyal and affluent base of potential customers without getting lost in the noise…and at a fraction of the cost.
There are countless charities with critical missions in need of support. But this isn’t a donation. It’s an investment.
People who love animals span every demographic and socioeconomic group. With us, you’re casting a wide net that will reach both consumers and other businesses who need your services.
According to the 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 67% of U.S. households, or about 85 million families, own at least one pet.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau Data for Hamilton County, Indiana and U.S. statistics for pet ownership, over 75,000 Hamilton County Households own at least one pet.
Bottom line…investing in HSHC is just good business.
HSHC supporters are fiercely loyal to our no kill philosophy and mission. As one of very few open admission, truly no kill shelters in the country, we have garnered a following the spans the country. Our unique programs that connect veterans, seniors, and at-risk youth with the healing power of pets has broadened our reach throughout Indiana, and cemented our bond, with animal lovers in our community. HSHC also saves hundreds of animals at risk for euthanasia in other Indiana shelters every year.
HSHC has taken a leadership role in protecting animals all over the state of Indiana. We are located in Hamilton County and bear its name…but our work has and continues to reach far beyond the county line.
Our loyal following loves the work we do…and that’s why they support the businesses who support us.

Corporate Sponsor Testimonials
“As a pet care business, we clearly love pets, but at PetSuites, we also want to give back to our community. When we heard of the sponsorship and donation opportunities with HSHC, it was easy to see that this is how we can help. We hope that our donations and sponsorship have helped to save pets in need and adopt them out to a loving family. It is always so exciting to see a previous HSHC dog/cat proudly walk through our door with their new loving family, ready to play an be pampered like they have always deserved.
Not only do we donate to HSHC, but they have also donated back to us in so many ways. Through HSHC’s word of mouth and many marketing opportunities, we have gained the trust of our community which provides more pets for us to love on! Our business is built on having a strong, reliable and engaged team of pet lovers ready to work hard and get dirty. Our sponsorship with HSHC gives our team a sense of purpose in knowing they are not only pampering beloved family pets but also helping to rescue and rehabilitate pets in need.
We have always looked up to HSHC and their dedication to the pets in our community and others. They go above and beyond to help countless pets and families in surrounding areas, when it is not required of them. They are extremely easy to work with whether you are walking in to donate, you’re planning an event with them, or coordinating daycare schedules for their dogs, they always have a positive attitude, remain flexible and treat you like family.”

“Here at Tom Wood Subaru, we love sponsoring the Humane Society for Hamilton County because of the incredible work they do for animals in our community. Their passion, dedication, and impact are truly unmatched.
Our partnership with HSHC has not only been rewarding on a personal level, but it has also benefited our business in many ways. From the flyers they distribute, to the support they give us on their website, and even the customers they’ve sent our way—it’s been a wonderful collaboration. We’ve seen countless pets find loving homes, whether through the adoption events they’ve attended at our dealership or the people we’ve referred to them directly.
What we love most about HSHC is… well, everything! They are hands down the best humane society we’ve ever worked with. The care and compassion they show every day make us proud to support them year after year.”
