LETTER FROM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
LINDSAY MCCALL
Dear supporters and friends,
At the Humane Society of Sonoma County, we believe that our community
is at the heart of our success. It is your generosity, compassion, and
sel昀氀essness that have allowed us to thrive and make a positive impact
on the lives of countless animals and families in Sonoma County. Your
donations, volunteer hours, and advocacy have been instrumental in
helping us achieve our goals and provide shelter, care, and love to so
many animals in need.
As we move forward, we are committed to deepening our roots within
Sonoma County even further. We want to be more present than ever
in the lives of the pets and people we serve. This means expanding our
reach, strengthening our programs, and engaging more closely with the
community. We want to ensure that our shelter is not just a safe haven
for animals, but also a place of support and education for our fellow
community members.
We are also committed to reducing our environmental impact. Environmental stewardship is a vital part of our mission, and we are actively
seeking ways to minimize our carbon footprint, reduce waste, and make
sustainable choices – from o昀昀ering digital editions of our publications
to installing solar panels on our roof. We believe that, by setting an
example of responsible and eco-friendly practices, we can contribute to
a greener, healthier, and more humane Sonoma County.
Our promise to you is to remain a steadfast and passionate contributor
to Sonoma County’s ongoing success story. We will provide resources,
support, and a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. With
your generous, compassionate support, we will continue to make a
life-saving di昀昀erence for animals and the people who love them.
Thank you for your unwavering support. Your love for the animals is a
driving force behind our mission, and we are deeply grateful for each
and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Lindsay McCall, HSSC Executive Director & Bird McCall, Chief Morale O昀케cer
