Humane Society needs the public's help
CONNOQUENESSING TWP — Butler County Humane Society members hope the season of giving isn't completely over.
The no-kill animal shelter at 1015 Evans City Road needs donated supplies and volunteers to help care for the society's 47 dogs and 84 cats on site and another 15 dogs and nine cats in foster care.
The Humane Society's “Wine and Whiskers” dinner and winetasting fundraiser is next month, said Michele Slupe, the society's executive director, but the group can use donations of money and time now.
“We get no county, state or federal funding. Our name is misleading because people automatically think we get county funding, but we don't get any county funding at all,” Slupe said.
She said the society's annual $600,000 budget is “met through the kindness and generosity of donors throughout the community.”
People interested in volunteering should visit the society website at http://butlercountyhs.org.
The second annual Wine & Whiskers dinner and wine tasting fundraiser will be held Monday, Feb. 12. Visit the Humane Society's website to learn more.
