HELP SMITH COUNTY HUMANE raise the money needed to obtain a physical SHELTER for the animals in need in Smith County! For a community of approximately 20,000 residents to have NO ANIMAL SHELTER available in 2022 is sad! We have so many animals in need and very few fosters to help hold the lost or abandoned while trying to find their families. The County Government doesn't see a shelter as a priority need in the county, but we KNOW different and WE NEED YOUR HELP! We currently only receive a contribution of $1500 from the City of Carthage. That is ALL the support SCH receives financially from the local municipalities or County. We receive on average 3-7 calls/messages a day for dogs that are found dumped or lost and roaming. If a finder can't contain and hold the dog we find ourselves either scrambling to try to find any safe place we can at a home, or the inability to do anything to help contain. We HAVE FOUND a LOCATION for a Shelter that is set up and ready to go and will allow sheltering DAY 1 and allow plenty of room for further expansion as the needs arise! With almost 2 acres, and over enough square footage to operate a modern Human Animal Support Services style shelter for both dogs and cats in need.
