Contact Information: Faribault County Humane Society P.O. Box 231 Blue Earth, MN 56013 fchspaws@gmail.com Debby 507-520-6304 or ddundas@bevcomm.net Background The Faribault County Humane Society (FCHS) is located in Blue Earth, Minnesota. FCHS was originally established in 1985, but it disbanded after a few years. In July\xa0 2008,\xa0 a group of people revived the humane society, and FCHS has continued to make a difference! By law, lost or stray animals must be held for five business days. Much to our alarm, unclaimed animals were often euthanized. FCHS started saving the animals. We are very busy - finding homes for about 100 animals each year. Eventually, FCHS began taking care of the local dog pound. The pound was a small metal building with limited creature comforts. The humane society made and paid for many improvements (air conditioning, windows, a second door, new dog kennels, multi-level cat cages). FCHS volunteers go to the pound/shelter three times a day to care for the animals. We provide food and water, empty litter boxes, and exercise the animals. The collected fees are reinvested in the care of the animals. Volunteers Could you help us at the pound? It just takes a few minutes, and we can always use more volunteers. Foster Homes Could you foster a cat or dog? We provide the food and litter and pay for all needed medical expenses. You provide the home and love. Wanted: Donations for a New Building Our dream is to build a bigger and better facility. We are currently conducting fundraisers, seeking grants, and saving money for a building. Donations are appreciated! Supplies (new or used) Purina dog and cat food scoopable litter I/D canned food (dog or cat) new chew bones (not rawhide)
