I agree.  Money's tight here too, but I'd be willing to give $20 or $25 towards this worthy project.

I have mixed feelings about involving HSUS in ANYTHING here in the state.   I agree with you, Ivy, that getting money to help would be good, but I'd rather it come from us than them even if we can't do "big bucks".  HSUS doesn't do anything at all without considering what they will get out of it and how it can further their AR agenda. 
 
Just my two cents.............

Is it worth the trade off?  Do we really want HSUS to be able to say they donated money to an Alabama shelter when we know if they did that it would be a token gesture to benefit them in their advertising?  It would be wonderful to get money for this cause, but do we really want to have any association with these people?  I don’t know.  Just asking.

What if an official letter were written to the HSUS from ACC, & ccd to the closest news media, asking for financial donations to that shelter?

Yes, wouldn't it be great if there was a way to coerce HSUS in to "doing the right thing"?  When pigs fly, I'm afraid.
 
I don't know that whatever token donation the ACC could make would be very helpful.  We are barely keeping our own heads above the water.  But I suppose it would be a nice gesture at least.  Will canvas the Board about this.

If nothing else would be nice if our membership made a donation through ACC.

I wonder if there's a way we could help them.  Besides, of course, the education part for the county residents of spay/neuter and not letting your animals roam at will.  I would be willing to bet that more than half of the animals they have taken in to date have been strays.  I don't know what we could do really, but it seems such a shame; they appear to have been trying very hard to do all the right things for the animals.

Humane Society In Alabama Forced To Euthanize 65 Animals In 8 days

Categories: Adoption News, Endangerment, Inhumane Practices, News
VALLEY, AL (WTVM) – As of today the Chattahoochee Humane Society in Valley, Alabama has taken in 2098 animals since January 1st.
The humane society went to the county earlier this month asking for more funding, without it they’ll have to shut down the facility September 30th and every animal that has not been adopted will be euthanized. Sharon Hawkins, President of the Board of Directors says, “we tried to present to them what it costs to do that and apparently our county feels that they can do it more affordably.”
Under U.S. law , an animal shelter is required in every county but what kind of shelter is not specified.
Hawkins says shelters are required to keep an animal for 7 days, after that, the humane society tries to get the animal adopted or fostered, but the county is proposing a pound.
“The difference in a pound is that they hold the animal for 7 days and they do not offer the option for adoption…so inevitably they’re euthanized” said Hawkins
Although the humane society needs more money, the board of directors has agreed to try a six month contract with the county that would prolong the closing, they are still waiting to hear if the county will accept.
Shon Sims, Director of the Humane Society is devastated…she feels like 6 years of hard work for the community has been wasted, “I’ve tried really hard to make sure the animals that leave our facility are healthy animals and that our cleaning structure and disease protocol changed so we didn’t have the disease presence we used too.”
