Ways You Can Make a Difference
Donate, foster, volunteer, advocate!
More than 95% of our funding comes from membership dues and contributions of many citizens of Athens, McMinn County and throughout the country. Without your continued support, animals will be left to suffer and die needlessly. You can make a difference! Please contribute generously to ensure that the homeless, abandoned animals are given a chance to become a pet in a loving, caring home.
Your tax-deductible contributions allow us the opportunity to fund investigations of animal abuse and bring the perpetrators to justice. Your support helps us to sterilize and offer medical assistance to many homeless, sick and injured animals.
The McMinn Regional Humane Society is very involved with breed rescue and transporting shelter animals throughout the country to be adopted. Donation offset any costs that may be incurred such as shots, vet care and/or per sterilization.
MRHS operates on a very limited budget. We diligently uphold the highest standard in determining where our funding goes. All of our volunteers are unpaid and perform endless hours of work to ensure that all monies donated go directly to the homeless and injured animals in our region. Your donations help us all to perform lifesaving work.
MRHS Membership
Our organization offers annual memberships at different levels. These memberships help us plan for each year and are of significant importance to the success of MRHS. As a member of MRHS, starting in 2021, you will receive quarterly mailed material for rescue work updates, emailed material to keep you involved, and social media recognition for your commitment to the animals!
Plaques, Memorials and Honorariums
We offer a program in which an individual, group, or business can donate to MRHS in the amount of $1,000 for one calendar year. The donation includes placing a plaque on a dog kennel, in the open cat room, or in the lobby. These plaques can be in memorial for a loved one or in honor of someone. Plaques go up for renewal at the amount of $1,000 at the completion of 12 month's sponsorship. Please email us at mrhsspayneuter@gmail.com for further information on this very worthy program.
