February is Chili's Month!
February is Chili's Month at Chili's,
2107 N. Veterans Parkway in Bloomington! Eat in or carry out, HSCI receives 10% of the total
purchase (excluding taxes) if customers redeem a designated voucher. Print this voucher
for February. Vouchers are also available at our Pet Adoption Center.
We will be collecting used cell phones during
the months of February and March as a fundraiser. A company pays us for each phone we collect so
they can be cleared, refurbished, and resold. Supporters can drop off their old cell phones at
the Pet Adoption Center during viewing hours.
HSCI Hires New Shelter Manager

nonprofit organization based in Bloomington.
Having relocated back to the area, she again lives in Bloomington with her husband Steve and their two children.

Help us save lives and give second chances!
Abandoned in a country field, Mufasa was blind and on his own. The glaucoma that damaged his
eyesight caused a pressure so severe, his eyes would have to be removed. HSCI’s mission is to
find loving, forever homes for abused and unwanted pets. Mufasa sure fit that description! Your
donations matter to the nearly one thousand companion animals like Mufasa that we help every year.
Read about HSCI's dedication to this special dog and how his life turned out.

A Different but Great Way to Help HSCI
HSCI, as you can imagine, involves quite a bit to run on a daily basis and care for so many wonderful
pets. For the last two summers, Curb Appeal Lawncare provided mowing services to our side and
front areas of the Pet Adoption Center. We very much appreciate their
offer as it helps us greatly and increases our "curb appeal". We are looking for others to donate
in-kind services. This helps us reduce our expenses, have consistency, and accomplish more. Some
particular needs we have are:
