Forever Monument
The Hero Fence
The Hero Fence is a forever monument to anyone who has supported the Humane Society over the years. We have memorial tags with many personal notes. People’s names in Memorial, who were long time animal lovers. Pets names who meant so much and other personal notes, all on a dog tag displayed permanently.
The Hero Fence is but one small way to honor our friends, family and volunteers in a small but meaningful way. And to never forget the unwavering love and loyalty of our animals.
Please consider adding a tag for your loved one whether it be human or furry companion. They all mean so much. The $15.00 is placed in our Angels Fund to care for animals in need.
