This fund raiser will help HSSI continue to fund Pennies for Pets, a program that helps the community spay and neuter their pets. It’ll be a really fun event!

If you can’t make it, please help HSSI continue to care for the animals in their care. Donations will help pay for them to be spayed, neutered, vaccinated so they can be adopted locally, or help pay for transport to another larger rescue that can find them the homes they deserve!

Please join us for a fun afternoon of Animal Bingo, a new spin on traditional bingo where instead of numbers, you are marking off the dog and cat breeds that are being called with what is on your card! 🐾🐱

Winners will win super cool gift baskets, with proceeds going towards HSSI's Pennies for Pets program where we sell low cost spay and neuter vouchers to pet owners in need of support fixing their pets! Once a month, our shelter sells these vouchers so owners can get their animals fixed for only $45! These vouchers cover the cost of the anesthesia and spay/neuter. Next month's vouchers will be given out on August 1st, so mark your calendars!

We are so excited for such a fun afternoon to be able to go towards a good cause. Get your tickets now and reserve yourself a spot!

Please reach out to the Humane Society of Southern Illinois with any questions. See you there!
