Humane Society Facing Closure, Needs $500k

For the second time in three years, the Cherryland Humane Society is
facing a desperate financial situation and possible closure.
The board of directors says it needs to raise $500,000 to keep the more than 60-year-old nonprofit animal shelter
afloat and caring for the 60-plus animals currently lodged there.
Letters have been sent to previous donors and other fundraising
activities are in the works while the board explores “numerous ways to
ensure financial stability going forward.”
Local veterinarian and Board President David Burke says donations are
down considerably, costs are up and the organization has enough money to
operate “another three or four months.” If funds don’t materialize, he
sees two choices: cut operational hours and staff or close down
completely.
