Thank you for your support.
CLHS is a nonprofit organization and dependent on community donations to cover our operating costs. We do not receive government funding or any funding from any national organizations (including the ASPCA and HSUS) for general operating purposes, although we do receive a small allotment from the city and county to help cover the cost of the animals that Animal Control brings to us. Donations not only help us run our facility, but they help us provide the best possible care to each and every animal that comes through our doors.
Donations By Mail
To make a donation through the mail, simply send a check, money order or cash directly to CLHS in a secured envelope. Our address is:
Columbus-Lowndes Humane Society
50 Airline Road
Columbus, MS 39702
Online Donations
To make a donation online, click here for our donations page. Here are our Donation Fund Types:
General Fund
The General Fund is the main fund that helps to cover all food, vaccinations, basic medical, cleaning supplies, etc. Most everything comes out of the general fund.
Building Fund
The Building Fund is for any building improvements and or additions to the current shelter. This would include any new structures on the shelter property, concrete, outside play yards for the animals, food building, fencing, etc.
2nd Chance Fund
This fund helps those animals with special needs such as heartworms, mange, xrays, etc. Those extra medical needs that most shelters usually cannot afford to do for special need animals. In most shelter these animals would not get a chance to get adopted and would be humanely put to sleep, but with your help, we are able to help treat these animals and get them adopted.
Guardian Angel Fund
The Guardian Angel helps to pay for whatever animal is in that certain kennel during those six or twelve months. The cost for the Guardian Angel is Dogs: 6 months = $60 ; 12 months = $120 ; Cats: 6 months = $50 ; 12 months = $100
Pennies for Paws
These are great programs for groups or schools to help raise money for the CLHS. Collect either pennies or coins for a period of time and then donate them to the shelter. This is a great way to raise money as everyone usually has change laying around. Every little bit helps!
