Sad Day for the Humane Society of the Nature Coast

I just heard some very sad news. Apparently, someone broke into our local animal shelter earlier this week and stole 5 dogs.  Three were found wandering the street and were returned safe, 1 is still not found and sadly, one was found dead.  You can read more on the story here.

This is the same shelter that my son and I volunteer at every other Saturday morning so we are quite familiar with these dogs and I am very sad to hear about Wesson, the Dachsund that was found dead.  He lived in a kennel with his brother, which is one of the returned dogs, but now wanders the kennel looking for his brother.

Please visit Humane Society of the Nature Coast and make a donation so they can make the necessary changes to increase security to keep all of the animals safe around the clock.  As I've mentioned before, they do not receive any operational funding from local, state or federal governments, nor do they receive funding from the Humane Society of the United States.  They rely soley on the donations and fundraising activities that take place through their facility.

No amount is too small and I can tell you without a doubt that you are supporting a great cause!!
