To the rescue!

The Humane Society of Imperial County has been chosen as one of the 10 finalists in the inaugural National Rescue Dog Day To the Rescue campaign!

With enough votes, the shelter could win up to $10,000.

Regardless of how many votes any of the finalists receive, each shelter or rescue group is a winner. The winnings range from $1,000 to $10,000. Whatever amount the Humane Society of Imperial County receives will gladly be accepted. The winnings will be earmarked to make some necessary upgrades to the shelter kennels. These upgrades will help ensure the dogs in the care of the shelter have a more comfortable and pleasant temporary living environment while they await their furever homes.

Voting is simple. To vote, scan the QR code (included on this page), or you can visit www.nationalrescuedogday. com. Once the site opens, click the black “To The Rescue Campaign” button and scroll down until you see 10 videos, one from each worthy finalist.
