Be Their Light

Festive lights, hot chocolate, warm cookies, coziness and calm—the magic of the season lives in life’s simple joys. And for the animals in our shelter, those same comforts mean safety, warmth, and a chance to finally rest.

But all of it depends on electricity. And without it, one thing is for certain: the animals would suffer.

That’s why this Giving Tuesday—December 2nd—we’re asking for your help to fund a generator powerful enough to support our entire 19,000-square-foot facility.

If the power were to go out for more than a few hours, our entire operation would come to a grinding halt. We would be thrown into crisis mode—

• • to heat the building
  • to somehow save thousands of dollars in temperature-sensitive vaccines and medications
  • to wash bedding and to provide clean water
  • to communicate with the outside world to secure fosters, rescues, volunteers, adopters and donations
  • to continue doing surgeries
  • to continue taking in animals that need us
  • to do all this and more

Care would be interrupted.

In just 24 hours next Tuesday, our goal is to raise $50,000 so we’re prepared to care for a shelter full of animals who depend on us.

If the power goes out in the middle of the night, you can be the reason no animal wakes up cold and shivering in the darkness.

• Checks can be mailed to Humane Society of Harford County, Attn: Giving Tuesday, 2208 Connolly Road, Fallston, MD 21047.
• If you have Venmo, direct your gift to @hshchumane.
• Or leverage the power of your social media network and start a Facebook fundraiser today. It’s free and every dollar raised gets us one step closer to our goal.

Thank you for being part of this work of love on #GivingTuesday.
