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 this year for those you love. They will cherish your thoughtfulness, which will kindly help our community’s orphaned animals.
