There are three fall sessions available: Sept. 5 - Sept. 26; Oct. 3 - Oct. 24 and Nov. 7 - Dec. 5 (no session on Nov. 28).

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.
