Your participation in these events will benefit the temporarily homeless pets in our care.

Do you have an idea for a fundraiser? Do you have experience organizing a fundraiser? Does your family, club or class want to help raise money to support Bond County Humane Society? Let us know!

BCHS does not receive funding assistance from the city, county, state or any other organization... Especially NOT the Humane Society of the United States! BCHS is totally dependent on membership dues, donations, grants and fundraisers to help the animals.

BCHS is a no-kill animal shelter and an IRS approved 501(c)3 charitable organization so all donations are tax deductible in accordance with IRS guidelines.

Volunteers are still needed for all events. Please call (618) 664-4068 or email bchs4pets@sbcglobal.net to sign up.
