How can people get involved in helping the cause of homeless animals?
First, spay and neuter your pets. If you are unable to keep your pet for any reason, contact your local humane society or rescue group. Do not just turn an animal loose and think it will be able to survive. Volunteer with your local shelter. We always need volunteers to assist with cleaning, socializing animals, fundraising and working at events. Contribute to your local shelter or rescue group. We need donations of pet food, cat litter, bleach, trash bags, paper towels, cat toys and cat carriers. Our shelter is funded through donations, and we recycle paper and aluminum cans to pay the bills. Drop off your newspapers and cans at bins located at our shelter. And most importantly, adopt a pet! Q: How can people contact the Humane Society? A: Contact information for the shelter is: Hancock County Humane Society 214 E. Main St.
