ERIN – The Upper Credit Humane Society has launched an emergency response fund to help the organization continue to provide a healthy and safe environment for the animals in its care and place them in new homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Upper Credit Humane Society closed its shelter to public visits and introduced measures to help protect the animals, employees, volunteers and members of the community. Adoptions are being conducted by appointment only and with physical distancing requirements in place.
“During these unprecedented times, we are asking for some extra help. We have launched an emergency response fund to support the animals at the shelter and in foster homes,” said Christine Pohlkamp, Chair of the Board of Directors.
Donations to the emergency response fund directly support the daily care of the animals, including food, medical expenses, veterinary care and other operating costs.
