Capital Campaign for HSHA

The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area (HSHA) has begun a capital campaign in order to raise funds for expansion. Not only is more physical space needed for animals and their owners, but the HSHA is hoping to expand their community programs as well.

HSHA has grown tremendously over the years and helps out thousands of animals and individuals each year. They currently house animals in their office space as the actual shelter is constantly filled to capacity. According to their capital campaign site, “Hundreds more unwanted pets in need are placed on a waiting list and wait an average of 9-12 months to get in to our shelter.”

Having always been a supporter of pet adoption and rescue, it seems only fitting to write about the needs of the local area. Even if you are not a resident of central Pennsylvania – I’m sure there is a local humane society near you that needs your support. Consider donating time, money or other resources. The work that such facilities do is invaluable. Not only do they help unwanted pets find new homes; but they offer education and prevention programs, training, vetrinary services and cruelty investigation.
