2024 Giving Challenge
As the area’s premier no-kill shelter, the Humane Society of Sarasota County’s official role is to take in and care for cats and dogs and adopt them into loving, permanent homes. But the whole of our mission is greater than the sum of our programs and services. Contained in every single animal’s success story is an entire universe of emotion, a collage of perfectly imperfect moments, and a special bond between human and animal.
HSSC’s impact can be measured quantitatively: number of adoptions, volunteers, and fosters, pounds of food distributed, obedience classes held, pet therapy visits, spay/neuter surgeries competed, vaccines given, and more. But ultimately, it boils down to one thing: animals make people better. Thus, by helping animals, we help each other. And there is no place more committed to this ideal than HSSC.
By participating in the 2024 Giving Challenge, April 9-10, from noon to noon, you will bring about a special kind of joy for the animals we serve and the people who love them.
