Our Open House & Ribbon Cutting this evening was a success! 🏠🐾
We want to send a huge thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the recent updates to our Edwardsville Facility! It was wonderful getting to see our devoted supporters as well as the many new faces interested in learning more about MEHS and our mission. 🐶🐱
We cannot thank you all enough for making these updates possible:
💙 Kennel Renovation Completion - Alphas Gym, ZenPaws Farm LLC, Purina, Coolheat Plus, Enchanted Tails Pet Resort and Services, The Italiano Family, The Pennington Family & Ron and Karla Smith
💚 Pet Food Pantry Expansion - Edwardsville Community Foundation
🧡 Veterinary Viewing Window & Memorial Garden with "Bella's Bench" in honor of Emerson Strieker thanks to the Strieker Family and Sam’s Native Nursery and Restoration Services
Additionally, thank you to our Board Members who led tours of our shelter to the community! We also want to thank Ed Glen Chamber of Commerce for being present and helping us celebrate!
We would not be where we are today without all of you who show up and show out for us. 🤝
So what is the future of MEHS?
We are thrilled to announced that our Capital Campaign for cat kennel upgrades launched tonight! We were able to improve dog housing in our shelter, and now, “The Future is Feline” ➡️ mehs.org/capital-campaign
