CAGE SPONSORSHIP
Lake Humane Society offers a temporary home to thousands of homeless, abused and abandoned animals each year.
As a cage sponsor, your generous donation will help Lake Humane rescue and provide temporary shelter for the more than 2000 deserving animals that pass through our doors each year.
Your donation of $15/month or $180/year will help provide a safe environment, food and veterinary care in the hope of giving companion animals a chance at a better life.
HOW CAN I SPONSOR?
Our Cage Sponsorship Program provides a great opportunity for individuals, families, community groups and companies to support the animals at Lake Humane Society.
You can sponsor a cage as an individual or family. You can sponsor a cage as a gift to all the animal lovers in your life. You can sponsor as many cages as you would like and as often as you would like.
Each sponsored cage will have a plaque displaying the sponsor’s name. Sponsorship can bear your name, your company’s name or the name of a loved one or pet. The plaque will remain for the duration of your sponsorship term.
Click here for the Cage Sponsorship form that you can print off and send in along with payment or feel free to bring it in person to Lake Humane Society.
SANTA PAWS WEEKEND WAS FESTIVE AND FUN
Thanks to Thoughtful Images for taking such great photos at our Santa Paws weekend event. There were some wonderful pictures of four-legged family members taken that weekend. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did. We’d also like to thank Ken Dauenhauer who was our very believable Santa and our Volunteer Elves; Brenda Barbarino, Marsha Vandervort, Erica Fleischer and Mike Ivancic.
LHS REVERSE RAFFLE/SILENT AUCTION A BIG SUCCESS
A little over 300 people enjoyed the annual Lake Humane Society Reverse Raffle/Silent Auction on Friday, November 7th at the Croation Lodge and Party Center in Eastlake. Supporters enjoyed a delicious dinner, dancing to Jesse Webb Entertainment, and chances to bid on some extraordinary items in the Silent Auction. Proceeds from the event directly benefit the shelter and the many animals we care for. We would like to thank the following for their support of LHS as well as the many dedicated volunteers who worked so hard to make this evening a success.

IRA GIFTING OPPORTUNITY RENEWED
A provision which allows IRA owners age 70 ½ or older to take mandatory, minimum distributions up to $100,000 per year from their IRA account and donate them directly to eligible charities without tax obligations, has been signed into law. This can be a win/win for both donors and the shelter. If you are a donor who must take the annual minimum, taxable withdrawal from your IRA, you may designate all or part of your withdrawal amount be directly donated to Lake Humane Society thereby avoiding taxes on the additional income. Those interested in learning more should contact their IRA trustee or custodian. Transfers for 2008 must be completed by December 31, 2008. Help the shelter and yourself through the IRA Gifting Opportunity. |
