Our Shelter
A New Shelter - A New Beginning
THANK YOU, JACKI STUTZMAN!
We want to thank Jacki Stutzman for her considerable support of the new Shelter through her $1 million donation. Jacki’s support has gone beyond just financial...she started as a volunteer at the shelter over 7 years ago in jeans and a t-shirt scooping up dog poop and cleaning cages. She has been a steadfast supporter and advocate for the homeless animals of Porter County.
Jacki has provided funding for the Porter County Sheriff’s Department to purchase a new K-9 dog, served on the boards of the Valpo YMCA, Porter County Community Foundation and Memorial Opera House Foundation, providing substantial financial support to those organizations and many others throughout Porter County. Thank you, Jacki. You have made Porter County a better place for our animals and our citizens.
Our friend and benefactor, now affectionately known by all as "Aunt Jacki", is pictured above with a sculpture and plaque installed at the front of our new shelter recognizing her donation. The quote from Jacki on the plaque reads "The animals don't have a voice, so you're going to be hearing from me for a long time." We are counting on it, Jacki! And we are honored to have such a forceful advocate on the side of our animals!
