Dear Karel,
Welcome to the Humane Society of Berks County's
Kennel Kapers Online! We hope that you find it
useful, informative, and that it will give you a better
idea of our efforts to save the thousands of
homeless,
abused and neglected animals needing our help
each
year.

Thank You!
3,000 Walkers help raise over $100,000!
Just a few years ago we'd have been the
underdogs if anyone had claimed we could bring
together 3,000 walkers with hundreds more donors
from
thirty states to raise $100,569 (and counting!),
but we did it! The HSBC thanks every single person,
company, and organization making this amazing feat
possible.
Because of your help we raised needed funds for vital
and unique programs like Ani-Meals On Wheels,
PetNet, Berks CART coordination, adoption,
emergency medical treatment, cruelty
prosecution...the list goes on and on. Saving lives
costs money and charitable dollars are increasingly
hard won. This year's Walk wasn't just fun and
successful, it was an affirmation that you join us in our
mission to improve the lives of animals in Berks
County and beyond!
Our particular thanks go to those raising extra funds
for the animals by collecting pledges. For the second
year in a row, Quaker Maid Meats The Fast and The
Furriest took top Pack honors, raising over $10,000!
Liz Hutcheson was our top individual fundraiser.
Thank you!

The next big project for the HSBC's 11th Street Shelter
will be the upgrade of the dog kennels. If you saw
what we did for the cats last winter, you can imagine
what we're going to do for the dogs! Improved
ventilation, increased natural light, glass fronted
habitats to improve visibility, and noise control are just
a few of the ways we'll bring the HSBC's adoption
kennels into the 21st century!
