MONROE - Dave Mosher said it seemed that everything happened at once.

Sher-Feed was burglarized Feb. 23 or Feb. 24, and money for donations to the Green County Humane Society (GCHS) was stolen. Then on Feb. 24, the GCHS received 20 dogs from a Juda home .

"I just felt that we had to do something to help," said Mosher, of Dave Mosher and Associates in Monroe.

His firm, along with Pekin Insurance, donated $150 to the humane society to help care for animals at the shelter.

Mosher said he hopes other individuals and businesses will donate to the shelter to help the animals.

"I'm making a challenge to others to do the same," he said.

Mosher said the humane society needs all the help it can get. Some people are able to adopt animals and some are able to help financially, he said. He wants people to do whatever they can to help.

Shelter manager Tonya Kelly said every donation helps and thanked Mosher, Pekin Insurance field representative Jack Newman and Thomas Nelson of Dave Mosher and Associates for their contribution to the humane society.

Sher-Feed is owned by Kris and Steve Sherven.

The GCHS also is looking for people to foster some of the dogs at the shelter to help make more room for the 20 dogs seized Feb. 24.

Donations to GCHS can be sent to P.O. Box 54 Monroe, WI 53566. To foster or adopt a pet contact the shelter at 325-9600.
