Here
at the Humane Society we believe that every pet’s life has value regardless of the
pet’s
circumstances in which they live. If an animal is homeless or comes
from a family who can either not afford to keep them or who prefer
to give the pet up because of “convenience”, the Humane
Society and our staff and volunteers are here to help that pet. That’s
because the Humane Society is all about saving lives-- one cat and
one dog at a time.
But what happens to these pets when they
find themselves in a situation where they’ve been hit by a car
and need immediate medical attention? Or what happens if an unwanted
pet has a skin condition that will cost a significant amount of money
for veterinary care and a significant amount of time for recovery?
The Humane Society feels that these pets
deserve the same attention and care that any loved pet would receive--
appropriate medical care and loving attention while they recover.
Though we do have full-time veterinarians
on staff at the Humane Society, we do not have the necessary equipment
needed to treat these more serious conditions and situations. Most of
the special animals that come to our facility in these situations are
taken by our staff to a full service veterinary clinic that offers us
a generous discount on services. Others, such as dogs who test positive
for heartworms, are able to be treated by our vets but it is very costly.
Gabriel's Fund, established in 2004, was created to help these
unwanted pets receive the same care and attention that you would give
to your own pet.
If you feel that every dog and cat deserves
the same care and attention that you would give your own pet, won’t
you help one today? By donating to Gabriel’s Fund, you’re
helping to provide veterinary care to a wonderful animal that is looking
for a chance not only to survive but to eventually heal and be given
the chance to start a new, healthy life with an adopted family. Help
give them a second chance and show them that even though they don’t
currently have a home to go to, there are those of us who love them and
feel their life has value.
Make your donation today and know that
you have helped save the life of a deserving animal.

Fund in 2006 & 2007.
