Campaign: Request
for Funding
A plea for help goes out to all as a letter writing
campaign begins. We need to get commitments
for funding from county and city officials in Hill County.
We remain optimistic that our elected officials
are convinced of the need for an animal shelter and advocacy program that’s available
to all voters and tax payers. Our optimism
is bolstered by the generous support of citizens from Hill County and others, including
Willie Nelson and philanthropists, Cheryl and Sam Wyly
of Dallas.
Our animals need us now more then ever. While Hill County and city officials show
that they’re willing to solve problems that result in abandoned animals and over-population,
we need to politely remind them that we STILL have much work to do. We need to encourage
them to work hard together to create a program that is sustainable and to provide
operational funding that open the doors of a new facility.
Please ask Hill County Judge and Commissioner’s Court, and City Councils of Hillsboro
and Whitney to fund efforts to reduce animal abandonment, over-population and to
provide animal advocacy programs to increase adoptions and reduce euthanasias. As animal advocates, we need to let
them know that we will not stop our fight until we help unwanted Hill County pets
and animals.

options below) to the Hill County Commissioners Court and to the Cities of Hillsboro
and Whitney, and, fax or mail them to these addresses:
