Ways to make a difference
There are many meaningful ways to support Ripley County Humane Society beyond standard donations:
Honor or memorial gifts
Make a donation in honor of a loved one, friend, or pet. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate a life, mark a special occasion, or remember someone who made an impact. Upon request, we can send a card to notify the honoree or their family of your thoughtful gift.
Sponsor a pet
You can help cover the daily care, medical needs, and comfort of a specific dog or cat while they wait for a forever home. Sponsoring a pet is a great way to make a direct and personal impact, especially if you’re unable to adopt right now.
Planned giving
Including Ripley County Humane Society in your will or estate plan ensures that your love for animals continues into the future. Planned giving is a lasting way to support our mission and help save lives for years to come.
Employer matching
Many companies will match your charitable donations or contribute based on the time you volunteer. It’s an easy way to increase the impact of your support. Ask your employer if they offer a matching gift program or volunteer grant.
Volunteer your time
Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Whether it’s walking dogs, socializing cats, doing yard work, helping at events, or assisting with laundry or cleaning, volunteers are the heart of our shelter. We welcome individuals, families, and small groups. Learn more about our volunteering opportunities.
Kroger Community Rewards
Did you know you can support the Ripley County Humane Society every time you shop at Kroger? Through the Kroger Community Rewards program, a small portion of your purchases can be donated to the shelter at no extra cost to you. Simply link your Kroger Plus card to the Ripley County Humane Society in your online Kroger account. Each time you shop and use your card, Kroger gives back automatically. It is an easy way to turn everyday groceries into real support for animals in our community.
Shelter Wish List
Our animals depend on daily essentials, and you can help by shopping from our wish list. Items like food, cleaning supplies, paper towels, and kitten formula are always needed. Every donation goes directly toward keeping the animals safe, healthy, and cared for while they wait for their forever homes.
