Help Us Build Our New Shelter
Buy A Gift/Memorial Brick
Unfortunately, we do not yet have all of the funding needed to complete the building phase of the shelter, so we are asking people to help us get it done. Purchasing a gift or memorial brick is a great way for people to honor or remember people or pets that are important to them. Each brick will be capable of three lines of text holding 21 characters per line for you to honor your loved one. This is a great opportunity for people to leave a lasting legacy while creating a permanent tribute to those who have contributed most to your life. Sponsorship levels begin with gift bricks for a donation of $100 each. For information on how you can be a brick while honoring an important person or pet in your life, please contact Laura Chaikin at 863-324-5227 or email laurahspc@aol.com BE A BRICK; BUY A BRICK!

The Fur Ball
The Fur Ball, our organization's largest fundraiser, has been an annual, semi-formal
event and silent auction where all proceeds directly benefit our building fund.
Community businesses purchase sponsorships and volunteers put on the event. About
400 people attend each year. Money is raised through ticket sales, business
sponsorships, and a silent auction.
Carols in the Park
Each year the Humane Society has a booth in Carols in the Park
where we sell various handmade items to help raise funds for the animals. If
you enjoy doing crafts and would like to help out by making some items
for us please call the shelter at 863-324-5227. We also have a
lot of fun just mingling with the people and letting people know about
our services.
The Humane Society of Polk County goes to various sites
around the county where cats and dogs are available for adoption. These
events are organized and staffed by staff and volunteers who help setup/take
down the tables and cages and assist potential adopters. Some
of these include: The Pet Fest at Hunt Fountain Park, Lake Alfred
October Fest, Friday Night Live in Lake Wales and many others. |
