(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission has approved a funding increase for the Brown County Humane Society.
Phyllis Shaeffer with the Humane Society appeared before the Commission Monday evening to request the city consider providing additional financial support to the organization.
The city has provided $1,000 annually for the past three years. Shaeffer said the city of Horton currently provides $1,500 annually and city of Sabetha $2,000 annually.
She said the organization is funded solely through donations and fundraisers.
Shaeffer said the local animal shelter took in 368 dogs and cats last year, with 91 of the animals coming from Hiawatha.
Following discussion, the Commission voted unanimously to increase the city’s annual donation to the Humane Society to $2,000.
