[C-Pet]

I can assure you from personal experience that the animal shelter in Lake Panasoffkee now using the d/b/a name of YOUR Humane Society SPCA (formerly known as the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Inc.) is an organization that will put your donation to the best possible use for the welfare of animals. I recently transitioned off the Board after six years (five of them as Chairman) due to term limits but continue to volunteer because of my love of animals and this organization in particular. I also managed the shelter on a daily basis for nine months while we were looking to hire a new Executive Director, so I am well-versed in how the shelter is run. Paid staff is minimal, hard-working and dedicated; they are supplemented by many volunteers. All Board members are unpaid volunteers. We have a Platinum rating on Guidestar. Here is the mission statement:
The mission of YOUR Humane Society SPCA is to protect animals. The mission is carried out through direct care for animals that are injured, abused, unwanted, or abandoned, securing homes for as many as possible; and through community assistance programs including spay/neuter services and pet food distribution as well as providing humane education and pet safety information to our community in order to reduce pet overpopulation and improve the quality of life for animals.
YOUR Humane Society SPCA would be very grateful for any donation you choose to make to help their lifesaving mission. Thank you.
