2 SUMMER 2017 SHELTER NEWS
Sheboygan County Humane Society was one of three employee-selected organizations to participate in Masters Gallery Foods 2017 Gives Back Campaign!
Throughout the year MGF is hosting employee events to help support the needs of each organization. MGF generous employees donated over $56,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin, Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice, Sheboygan County Humane Society and the United Way of Sheboygan County. Masters Gallery matched all employee contributions with the match going to the United Way. In total, over $112,000 was distributed among the four organizations!
SCHS is honored to be a part of the MGF Gives Back Campaign. It is support like this that makes our dreams a reality and allows our programs to flourish.

It's officially spring, and to kick the
season off, Van Horn Automotive
Group has donated a 2012
Chrysler Town & Country Touring to
the Sheboygan County Humane
Society.
"The employee owners at Van
Horn hold a special place in their
heart for animals. They are the
innocent ones. They don't have
the power to protect themselves
in our society. Van Horn really
wants to help those who are
innocent victims," says Chuck Van
Horn.
Van Horn is very fortunate to be
able to donate a van to help with
some of the organizations needs
for the pets. It is important to have
transportation methods to rescue
abused or neglected animals from
a poor environment. The van
gives us the flexibility to run
errands, pick up donations and
community outreach. The van will
transport pets to mobile events
and to local assisted living facilities
for visits with the residents or to find
their forever home.

GIVING BACK
Students at Jackson Elementary School read every Wednesday and track their reading stamina minutes in the Tour De Jackson School Challenge. First and third grade students met their reading goal and earned the opportunity to read with animals. On Thursday, March 9, the Sheboygan County Humane Society brought two kittens, a cat, a bunny, and a guinea pig for students to pet, hold and enjoy. Students brought books and took turns reading out loud to the animals. The students want to thank the Sheboygan County Humane Society for sharing their animals!
Ashley, hosted a tour with first graders from Elementary School of the Arts & Academics. They learned how we care for the animals, what volunteers do and made special Easter treats for the dogs. Then they delivered the goodies to the shelter where they received lots of smiles and appreciation from our staff. THANK YOU ESAA!
A GIGANTIC THANK YOU to the 6th
graders at Horace Mann Middle

.[March 17th] is Sheba's unofficial 14th birthday. The reason it's unofficial is because when we adopted her from you guys the vet said she had probably just turned one. So 13 years ago she was a beautiful stray looking for her forever home. And what an amazing 13 years it's been. The reason I'm sending this is because I am sure it's very hard to see animals not adopted or find their forever home and I was just hoping it would brighten your day. Thanks for all you guys do!!
Thank you for giving Sheba her forever home & 'Happy Birthday' to Sheba!
