LEE COUNTY — 

Dear Friend of LCHS,

If you’ve ever been given a second chance, then you know how much it can mean and how it can even turn your life around. At Lee County Humane Society, we have a shelter full of animals waiting for their second chance. We are committed to giving every animal that comes in our door a chance for a new life. 

Most of our animals end up in our system through no fault of their own. The majority of our intakes are strays running at large in our jurisdiction. Animals that are surrendered are often given up because of owners moving, allergies in the family, a change in someone’s lifestyle or circumstances where they can’t take care of their animal anymore. Once an animal is in our care, we do everything we can to give them a second chance to find a loving forever home. 

The only way we can give homeless animals in our community this chance is with your help. You play a vital role in our mission at LCHS. We rely on donations for 70% of our current operating budget. Every cost that goes into giving an animal a chance to be adopted comes from contributions.

Your gift to LCHS means a dog like Maple will get her second chance. She came into LCHS as a stray, severely underweight, with several serious wounds, including one requiring her tail to be amputated. To top it all off, she had heartworms. Frankly, with all of these issues, there’s no way we could help her without supporters like you stepping up.

That’s why I’m asking you today to donate to our Summer of Second Chances 2023 campaign. We need your help to give Maple, and every animal in our care, a life-changing second chance.

Please consider donating online at weblink.donorperfect.com/SSC2023/.

We can also process credit card donations over the phone and are happy to accept donations at the shelter at 1140 Ware Drive in Auburn.

With heartfelt thanks,

Karen Gaston
