Negative Radio Ads - NOT About Humane Society of Greater Dayton
Numerous radio stations in our community are airing ads through December 23 against a national humane group. These advertisements are not aimed at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. However, we do want to clear up any confusion these ads may have caused.
The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is a single-entity 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency. This means we are not affiliated with any local, state or national organization. We receive no government funds either. All of our funding for all of our programs and services come from donations by individuals, companies and grants.
