When you visit The Lawrence County Humane Society, you are on camera! That's right - The Humane Society has video recording cameras throughout the facility, including the pole barn.
Unfortunately, those cameras have recently caught some disturbing activity.
The Humane Society is funded solely by donations from our generous community members. We receive NO funding from the government, state or county. We rely on EVERY penny we get to pay utilities, veterinary bills, food costs, facility upkeep, and supplies. All of the animals' care, the upkeep of the facility and the daily tasks are provided by volunteers - there are no paid employees. We meet so many kind and loving people in this community, people who love animals and help us support our mission.
Unfortunately, there are also those in the community who will steal from The Humane Society and take away from the care that the animals receive. So, back to those cameras! They DO record, they DO have excellent quality (so good you can see license plates!), they DO shoot from different angles, and thieves WILL be prosecuted.
And, honestly, stealing from a non-profit animal shelter just makes you a jerk.
