HUMANE
SOCIETY OF SARASOTA COUNTY EARNS HIGHEST RATING FOR FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT
The Humane Society of Sarasota
County, Inc. has received the highest possible rating from Charity
Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of charities.
Receiving four out of a possible four stars
indicates that the Humane Society of Sarasota County excels, as
compared to other charities nationwide, in successfully managing
its finances in an efficient and effective manner.
According to Charity Navigator, receiving
a four-star rating "is an exceptional feat (which) differentiates
the Humane Society of Sarasota County from its peers and demonstrates
to the public it is worthy of their trust."
"We are honored to receive Charity Navigator's
highest rating," said Humane Society of Sarasota County Executive
Director Deborah Robbins Millman. "The Humane Society of Sarasota
County works hard to shelter this area's abandoned pets and offer
many community services, and we take seriously the fiscal responsibility
we have to the donors who make our efforts possible. We rely on
donations, bequests and sponsorships, and we are pleased that
our donors have this added reassurance that the money they provide
to us is used in the most responsible way."
Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org)
evaluates more than 5,000 charities; only about one-quarter of
them receive the highest possible rating. HSSC is one of only
three animal welfare agencies in Florida and one of just 82 such
agencies nationwide to hold the four-star designation.

 Mission:
"The
Humane Society of Sarasota County relies on community funding to pursue
its mission of promoting responsible pet ownership and securing permanent
homes for all adoptable animals. HSSC provides abandoned pets with compassionate
care and shelter, offers pet adoptions, humane education, affordable
spay/neuter services, and programs for children, seniors and those with
special needs."
HSSC shelters
nearly 4,000 pets each year. Believing that the best place
for pets is in the home, it also offers obedience classes and
information/resources to pet owners seeking alternatives to abandonment.
Until the day when every pet is a wanted pet, adopters are the
angels who make happy endings possible for the thousands who have
been abandoned. If there is room in your home and heart, visit HSSC
and bring home the pet of your choice; HSSC's adoption fee includes
spaying/neutering, health checks/inoculations, flea
preventative, rabies vaccination and microchip.
Your donations also save lives! Please click on the "Make a Donation" link
above or call 955-4131, ext. 101. You may also mail donations to:
HSSC, 2331 15th Street, Sarasota, FL 34237.
