Several years ago, the Humane Society of Imperial County created an automatic monthly giving program that allows community members to quickly and safely donate a specified amount each month to the animals in its care.
This monthly giving program is called 10,000 Paws & Whiskers. The purpose of this program was to encourage 1,000 community members donate at least $10 a month to bring in funds for the orphaned pets that are in our care.
This year alone we have taken in several medical cases and thanks to our donors and the veterinarians that we work with; we have been able to save over 91 percent of those medical cases!

If anyone follows any of the public pet pages on Facebook such as the Imperial Valley: Lost and Found Pets or if anyone has been at the Humane Society of Imperial County right at opening (2 p.m.), you will quickly learn that Imperial Valley is full of lost pets.
Unfortunately, many of these lost pets are never reunited with their families. When they are found roaming the streets, many are picked up by animal control officers. Each city has its own animal control department, and there is also a department for the unincorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of each city.
