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 Fishers shelter is asking the public to come forward and foster animals while they make repairs during dangerous, brutal cold.

Jennifer Perrigo says, "there is so much that the future holds for the Rutland County Humane Society and I'm just really excited to be a part of it".

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is making an urgent request for people to temporarily house some of its dogs after the heating system broke down.

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.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is searching for people willing to provide foster homes to dogs after the facility experienced a heating system failure in two of its kennels. The heating issues have emerged amid the backdrop of single-digit temperatures and wind chills in the negative teens.
