The Ketchikan Humane Society wishes to thank the incredibly generous individuals and organizations who have been so supportive of us over the past two months. Since we rely entirely on donations to support our rescue work, our low-cost spay and neuter program, and our free feral cat altering program, none of what we do could happen without this support. Our goal is for every animal in Ketchikan and Southern Southeast Alaska to be loved and wanted. We have made great progress in reducing the numbers of animals abandoned or euthanized in our community every year. Because we are a 501(c)(3), all donations are tax deductible, and since none of our volunteers or foster families are paid, all monies can be used for care for animals.

We are not even halfway through 2013, but we have already had 60 unwanted animals in rescue and have paid for spays and neuters for 143 animals in our low cost and feral programs. Following is a list of the good people who have made this possible in the past couple of months, and who, through their compassion and openhandedness, have made such a difference.
