Companions Animal Center Partnership 768 1024 John J. Hemmingson Foundation

The John J. Hemmingson Foundation is proud to announce a partnership with the Companions Animal Center. The current facility is over 40 years old and a capital campaign continues as construction has started on the new building. CAC is a no-kill shelter and the new building will allow them to house twice as many animals. The total goal is to raise $8M, which will include a veterinarian clinic and the ability to expand for future growth.

After touring the facility a few years ago, John Hemmingson decided to donate $250,000 towards the project. The owner of an adopted dog himself – Hailey Hemmingson – John wanted to help ensure as many animals as possible can receive help from the Companions Animal Center.

Architerra, a Lakeside Company, is also partnering with the shelter. Architerra is committed to supporting our community and those who live in it and have a very soft spot for animals. Architerra is working together with the shelter on several events throughout the year, including:

Kilo was adopted in June at the Architerra yard sale.
  • Donating a portion of every home sold to Companions Animal Center
  • Holding pet adoption drives, including one at our community yard sale in June:
    • Architerra filled 7 trucks with goods donated to the Companions Animal Center Thrift Shop.
    • Kilo, a cute little pup, was adopted!
    • All donations received from the food trucks were donated back to CAC
  • For the upcoming Parade of Homes event, a small dog house matching the model home will be on display to drive additional donations to CAC.
