It has been brought to our attention that we have some unauthorized individuals soliciting donations on our behalf. Please note all monetary donations should be submitted via our website, or by check mailed to:
Copper Country Humane Society
PO Box 453
Houghton, MI 49931
You can also bring donations to our facility in person. Items can be left in the grey shed next to the front door, and monetary donations can be brough during our open hours. If you have been contacted recently, please reach out to us at 906-487-9560 and LEAVE A MESSAGE, message us on our Facebook page, or email us at manager@cchumanesociety.com.
If you have been approached recently about donating a basket for our basket sweepstakes, this is likely legitimate, but only if it came from one of our board members or members of management. The following people are approved to solicit donations:
Board of Directors:
Laura Putwen – President
Kerri Sleeman – Vice President
Stacy Hollenbeck – Treasurer
Morgan Kari – Secretary
Betty Aebli
Diane Trudgeon
Heather Sander
Eve Wakeham
Melissa Parker
Thomas Fournier
Management
Becki Clouthier – Manager
Rebecca Brink – Assistant Manager
If you have any concerns, feel free to ask for ID! We will not be offended, and in fact we appreciate that you care enough to make sure you are talking to an appropriate person.
We appreciate your generosity so much and want to make sure that your support goes where you meant it to go.
One other note: we do have a big project coming up that we will be asking for donations for, but this will be announced fairly soon. Again, only the people above should be soliciting for donations for projects large and small, fundraisers, etc.
The Eagle Scouts are currently working on a project for us as well, likely either a catio or some improvements to our fences.
*It is totally fine for anyone to encourage people to make monetary donations to our general fund or donate items we have expressed a need for on our website or social media. We encourage businesses to get in touch with us if anyone not on the board or in management makes a request.
