Quincy Humane Society Endowment Fund continues to support Quincy Humane Society

QUINCY — Quincy Humane Society recently announced support provided by the Quincy Humane Society Endowment allowed the surgical team to buy a new autoclave, a high-pressure steam machine used to sterilize items by killing microorganisms and spores.

The Quincy Humane Society Endowment fund was initiated as a donor-directed bequest by Margaret Wade Meyer in honor of her dog. Her intent was to establish a permanent fund to support Quincy Humane Society shelter pets into the future and to ensure that the shelter remains state-of-the-art in terms of quality of pet care and community programs addressing animal welfare.

In a press release, Pilar Brumbaugh, executive director of Quincy Humane Society, said, “We are so grateful for the support we received from the Quincy Humane Society Endowment. Over the last several years, it has made it possible for us to purchase new water heaters and spay and neuter cats in Adams County and now the autoclave.”
