Can You Help the Inverness Humane Society?

We adopted Max from the Inverness Humane Society earlier this year. He was on his way to being euthanized but was rescued by the wonderful people at the Inverness Humane Society who had driven all the way to Arkansas to rescue as many dogs as they could from a puppy mill auction.

So now they need help. Following is a message from Margret Nolan, President of Inverness Humane Society:

"We are now celebrating our 4 year anniversary! We would like to thank everyone for their help and we would like to keep you all better informed on our weekly business. Going forward, we would like to send you our yearly adoption stats (590 so far this year alone!), how many animals we have rescued this year (we currently have 50 adoptable dogs and 5 cats), a happy ending rescue story, and helpful hints from our clinic vet, Dr. Fox. If you do not want us to email you, please respond to this email asking us to take you off our contact list.

Our organization has found homes for 2144 dogs and cats that otherwise would have been euthanized since we opened 4 years ago. We run a low cost spay/ neuter clinic in Inverness and very often will help people who cannot afford to spay/ neuter their pets with further discounts or free services. We have always done what we could to help other rescues, we have always stepped up to help raise funds for rescues in dire need, we have given free heartworm treatments and spay/ neuters for people adopting dogs at the local animal control, not even our organization, who otherwise would not have been able to afford to save that dog, and we further discount our clinic services for rescue organizations. Now we need a bit of help for our dogs. We are in an area that floods and our adult dogs have runs that are totally outside, with tarps and dog houses. We have an opportunity to greatly improve conditions for our animals and we need your help!

As I said, our animals are in urgent need of help right now. We are trying to raise $9,500 in 4 weeks to buy that 12*40 shed to convert. We will make indoor/ outdoor runs for our adult rescue dogs, we will convert the old outdoor runs into a big play yard for them, and be able to create a quarantine area for the new puppy litters we rescue. Please visit our fund raising web site http://www.firstgiving.com/humanesocietyofinverness to track our progress and donate yourself! There is also a link on that site for people interested in doing their own fundraising efforts on our behalf. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank You and Dog Bless. "
