Giving Tuesday is here, and hope starts with you. 💛

Today, we’re sharing the story of one dog who came to us scared, starving, and fighting to survive — and the incredible team and community that helped give him a second chance.

Every day, animals just like him walk through our doors needing medical care, safety, and someone to believe in them. At the Humane Society of Elkhart County, hope isn’t just a word — it’s the work we do together.

✨ Your Giving Tuesday donation helps save lives.
Your gift goes directly toward medical care, nourishment, and the compassionate support every animal deserves.

🐾 Give hope today: https://bit.ly/hsec-giving-tuesday

From all of us at the Humane Society of Elkhart County — thank you for standing with the animals who need you most.

🎄 We are so grateful for Sally Billings of 820 Antiques, who beautifully decorated a room at Ruthmere Museum's Toys Through Time Holiday Tours!

Ruthmere has invited local designers and organizations to transform the museum with toys from 1875 through today, celebrating 150 years of childhood play. Each room highlights a different era—and visitors get to vote for their favorite!

At the end of the event, the designer with the most votes will earn a $1,000 donation to a non-profit of their choice. ❤️

Be sure to call Ruthmere to reserve your tour today—spaces fill up fast!

Happy Black Friday! 🖤🛍️
If you’re already up early hunting for deals, grab a few extra gifts for kids in our community!

Bring a new, unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots and we’ll waive all adoption fees—today and through the end of November. It’s the perfect way to turn your Black Friday shopping into something really meaningful.

We’re open today from 9am–5pm, and we’d love to see animals heading home for the holidays. ❤️

Thinking about adopting? 💛

We’ve made the process super simple — and the benefits even better!

Stop in, meet your new best friend, fill out a quick application, and head home with a pet who’s already vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to love you forever. After adoption, you can purchase medications and supplies through our online pharmacy, and you can schedule any continued vaccinations right here at HSEC.

See you soon! 🐾💙
