Highland County Humane Society thankful for support of ATI, AMES through recent fundraiser
Lead Summary
By
Highland County Humane Society-
Air Transport International Airlines and Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services (AMES) are subsidiaries of ATSG in Wilmington. Together, the two saw a need and joined forces to raise funds to help in the care of the animals at Clinton County and Highland County Humane Societies through an event coordinated by Penny Miller with AMES and Brianne Miller of ATI to inform the community of the needs of these two nonprofit providers and the importance of their missions.
A month-long event was held to collect donations, sell raffle tickets for a variety of donated prizes and continue raising awareness and support for organizations that ensure the care and well-being of animals in Clinton and Highland Counties. Both organizations are only able to operate with the kindness and generosity of donations.
The Highland County Humane Society shelter provides care for an average of 47 animals per month and Clinton a total of 28, facilitating the successful long-term adoption of approximately 67 percent of those animals and foster or rescue transition to the remaining 33 percent. As no-kill shelters, HCHS and CCHS strives to ensure placement of all animals in healthy loving environments.
Highland County Shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon – 5 p.m. for adoptions, foster volunteers or any community member seeking to volunteer to care, walk, play and otherwise socialize the dogs and cats in our care. Clinton County is an appointment-only facility, running its day-to-day operations 100-percent on a volunteer basis.
We are very proud to announce the following as the end of this fundraising event for the Clinton County and Highland County Humane Societies.
• This fundraising drive raised a total of $2,890 in monetary donations to be split between the two shelters, along with a large amount of much-needed and definitely appreciated supplies of dog & cat food, kitty litter, cleaning supplies and pet toys. Highland County Humane Society saw an increase in adoptions by ATI and AMES staff and family as well as volunteers to help in our day-to-day operations.
• Sali Gear, an ATI pilot who is on the board of directors for the St. Croix Humane Society and works directly with animal welfare groups in St. Thomas, has offered her services to our shelters to pursue grant-funded support. Her expertise and experience will help connect our shelters to funding opportunities designed to increase our capacity to achieve our missions.
We want to thank everyone who was involved in helping raise this money as well all the caring individuals who found it in their hearts to donate, adopt and volunteer within our mission-driven organizations.
