The Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) will launch its Annual Matching Campaign on June 1, offering donors a chance to double the impact of their contributions to support animals in need.

Running through June 30, the campaign matches every dollar donated to HSHC, with generous donors pledging to match up to $115,000. The organization hopes to raise a total of $230,000 to fund essential services for the more than 4,000 animals it cares for each year, including shelter, food, and medical treatment.

The campaign has become a vital part of HSHC’s operations, particularly for animals that spend extended periods at the shelter awaiting adoption. Currently, the shelter’s longest resident has been waiting nearly 900 days to find a permanent home.

“At HSHC, we are committed to finding a loving home for every animal, no matter how long it takes. But we cannot keep that promise on our own,” said Emma Nobbe, Community Engagement Manager. “By donating during the Annual Matching Campaign, you are offering these animals an even greater chance to find their happily ever after.”

HSHC reports that at least 50 animals in its care have been waiting more than 200 days to be adopted. Funds raised through the campaign will help the shelter continue to provide care and maintain its no-kill commitment, ensuring animals are supported regardless of how long they stay.

Supporters can participate in the campaign by:

• Donating online at HamiltonHumane.com/Matching

• Mailing a check to 10501 Hague Road, Fishers, IN 46038, with “Matching Campaign” in the memo line

• Visiting the shelter in person between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily
