RACINE, Wis. — A local animal shelter is reaching out to the community for help after their air conditioning unit failed amid recent heat and humidity.
HOPE Safehouse, a non-profit organization in Racine, is struggling to afford a new unit, leaving the pets in their care suffering through sweltering conditions.
“Normally, we would use the money we have to take care of the animals and to bring in more animals. This, um, you know, bites into that,” said Kathy Ginther, a representative from HOPE Safehouse.
Fundraising efforts are underway to raise money for a new air conditioning unit. Those interested in donating can visit the shelter's website.
