Check out the spectacular new CCHS website at www.CUHumane.org.

New “creature comforts” added to the site include:

  • One-click access to search for adoptable pets from any page of the site
  • One-click access from anywhere on the site to make an online donation
  • CCHS blog
  • Featured news stories
  • Featured pet box highlighting shelter animals
  • Tools to ease the in-house administration of site
  • Social media links

The makeover will help to further the efforts of CCHS to prevent animal cruelty, promote animal welfare, and educate the public about the humane care and treatment of animals through sheltering and adoption services. Compare the old CCHS website and logo to the new makeover site and logo created by LRS Web Solutions here. So what do you think? Leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!
