🐾 Have you ever wondered what happens to someone’s pets when they’re unexpectedly hospitalized? Humane Society of Lebanon County asked the same question — and then they stepped up to help.
Today, Fairmount Community Liaison Amber Hughes delivered donated pet supplies to the Lebanon County Crisis Team, who will share them with the Humane Society to support pets whose owners are currently hospitalized.
Pets are family. They provide comfort, stability, and connection — especially for people living with mental illness — and they deserve compassionate care during difficult moments.
A heartfelt thank‑you to the Humane Society of Lebanon County for offering such an important service to the community.
