The Humane Society for Hamilton County is seeking some relief after a heating system failure in part of the facility, and the community is stepping up to help by fostering dogs and spreading the word.

The Dubois County Humane Society is reaching out for support after a furnace that heats the dog runs stopped working and a waterline burst flooding their back yard. According to a post on Facebook, donations will go towards fixing the furnace and excavating the waterlines.

The shelter currently houses over 130 dogs, and with limited heated kennels available, it needs people who can foster a dog, even for just a few nights.
