S.P.O.T. (Stop Pet Overpopulation Today) Spay/Neuter Program Helps Stop Pet Overpopulation
Through a grant we have been able to spay and neuter many animals. We have reached the end of our grant money and have applied for an extension of the grant. For those animal lovers that are looking for low cost spay and neuter clinics, we will be very happy to assist you. Please contact our shelter or administration office for a list of clinics in our area.

| About Us |
The Humane Society of Monroe County (HSMC) was founded in 1954 by Monroe County residents who were concerned for the welfare of the companion animals in our community. For approximately 50 years, the society has operated a shelter where stray, abandoned or surrendered animals receive care – food, shelter, medical attention and love – until they can be placed in a permanent home. The society also promotes the humane treatment of animals through education; attempts to re-unite lost animals with their owners and provides a subsidized low or no cost spay/neuter program for Monroe County residents on disability, Medicaid, social security or other income restrictions (contact the admin. office for more information or to see if you might qualify for this program.)
The HSMC is a non-profit, no-kill organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. We employ a small but dedicated staff to care for the animals, operate the shelter and conduct our outreach programs and events. Currently, the society does not receive government funding. Our budget is comprised of fundraising events, memberships, donations, cage sponsors and adoptions. A dedicated group of volunteers provides invaluable assistance in conducting our community outreach programs.
The Humane Society of Monroe County is an independent Humane Society. We are not part of, nor do we receive any support from the Michigan Humane Society, American Humane Association or the Humane Society of the United States. We only exist because of support of the people of Monroe County and friends in surrounding areas.

| S.A.D. Fund |
Our S.A.D. Fund (Sick Animal Donation Fund) needs your support more than ever as we continue to receive animals that require special veterinary care. As a no-kill shelter, we have a responsibility to provide veterinary care for animals that, with reasonable treatment, can have a good quality of life. This is a vital part of creating a community where no healthy or treatable animal is euthanized. To donate to our S.A.D. Fund, you can contact us if you would like to contribute or make an on-line donation.
Wizard came to us with a bad eye injury. His former owner couldn't afford the veterniary care for his eye. The owner surrendered Wizard to us so we could care for him. Unfortunately Wizard's eye couldn't be saved, but he is doing well and will be available for adoption soon.
