Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Say hello to the polite and petite Pig!
She doesn't meow much, but she has plenty of love to give. Pig was brought into the shelter along with her daughter Pixie as an owner surrender. Unfortunately, their previous family was no longer able to care for them. From the beginning, she was always very sweet. As she has gotten more comfortable, she'll roam around the room and come up to those who visit, in search of attention. Pig gets along well with the other cats in the room, even grooming her cat friends to show her affection towards them! If she were adopted into a home with another cat, she wouldn't mind, and it probably wouldn't take her long to become friends with them. According to her previous owner, Pig did very well with the dog in the home. They were described as being best friends and that Pig really loved the dog! The owner also praised Pig for getting along well with children, being loving towards them too. Pig really is just the sweetest and loving little kitty! Come by the Humane Society to meet Pig! ...

88%. A number too high to ignore. 💔
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to recognize that violence in a home is rarely contained to one victim. Research consistently shows a disturbing connection between substantiated child physical abuse and animal abuse.
When a family is in crisis, the most vulnerable members, children and pets, often suffer together. At HSDC, we believe that understanding "The Link" between these two forms of cruelty is crucial for community safety.
What you can do: Be vigilant. 📞 If you see something, say something. Reporting animal neglect might be the intervention a child desperately needs.
