CHS Receives Outstanding Performance Award

Sue Chambers, Director of Operations, and Carmela Lazarus, Marketing and Volunteer Coordinator of Cascades Humane Society were present at the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance “No Kill” Conference, on Thursday, September 5 to receive an award for outstanding performance. “This award, for Outstanding Limited Admission Shelter with the greatest number of adoptions, is a huge honor,” says Teri Ogg, Board President. “Our staff and volunteers work very hard to care for the abandoned animals in our community. This award is proof that all of our hard work is paying off.” Cascades Humane Society was among four other Michigan shelter to receive an award, out of 184 Michigan shelters.

The Michigan Pet Fund Alliance (MPFA) is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. MPFA was formed to end the killing of healthy and treatable homeless cats and dogs in Michigan animal shelters.

Cascades Humane Society has embraced the no-kill philosophy since its beginning in 1952. “We are extremely proud of the fact that we are a no-kill shelter. We care for our shelter animals as if they are our own. We heal the ones that come to us sick, work with those who have physical or behavioral limitations and foster kittens and puppies that are not ready to be adopted,” states Sue Chambers, Director of Operations.
