Memorials and Gifts of Honor
Gifts made in memory of a loved one, who cared deeply about the work of the Humane Society of Polk County, or in memory of a pet, help thousands of Polk County's homeless animals find loving, permanent homes. Your support of the Humane Society and the precious pets we lovingly care for each year is a wonderful way to honor your loved one's memory. You may also make gifts in honor of your beloved friends and family to celebrate their birthdays or anniversaries. Please consider making a special occasion or holiday gift for those you love this year. They will cherish your thoughtfulness, which will kindly help our community's orphaned animals.

Gerrard Harwick Fund
Gifts to our Animal Abuse Fund for Abused Animals aid pets at the Humane Society of Polk County who are in need of special rehabilitative care due to the abuse or neglect of a previous owner. This giving fund is named in honor of Francis Gerrard and Peggy Harwick, tireless supporters and founders of the Humane Society of Polk County.  Francis and Peggy will always be remembered for their gift of love for those who cannot help themselves.
