The Humane Society for Hamilton County is launching its annual June Matching Campaign, with the goal of raising $300,000 in 30 days to support the thousands of animals that come through the shelter each year.

From June 1 through June 30, every online or in-person donation to HSHC will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000. The matching funds are being provided through the shelter’s Advisory Board, Board of Directors and other individual donors.

That means a $5 gift becomes $10, a $20 gift becomes $40, and a $50 gift becomes $100 during the campaign.

“Every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $150,000,” said Emma Nobbe, HSHC community engagement manager. “For the month of June, your $5 donation will become $10, $20 will become $40, $50 will become $100 — with all proceeds providing essential care, medical treatment, and shelter for the 4,000 animals who come through our doors each year.”

The shelter says the campaign supports animals such as Asher, one of the many animals arriving at the facility each year in critical need of medical care. Money raised through the June campaign will help provide shelter, medical treatment and daily care for animals in need.

Community members may donate online at hamiltonhumane.com or in person at the shelter, located at 10501 Hague Road in Fishers.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It serves as both the animal control facility and humane society for Hamilton County. According to HSHC, county funding covers about 21 percent of its operating needs, including the first 10 days of basic care for animals. The remainder of the shelter’s annual budget is funded largely through individual donations.

HSHC describes itself as an open-admission, “no-kill” shelter. The organization says it does not euthanize animals because of time, space, treatable injuries, illnesses or most behavior issues. The shelter reports it has maintained an average live placement rate of 98 percent since 2014.
