The Humane Society of Independence Country was named a finalist among Animal Welfare organizations in the Land Rover ‘Defender Above and Beyond Service Awards.’
The Batesville non-profit was recognized for its work rescuing and providing a safe shelter for abandoned, abused, homeless, and unwanted dogs and cats within the county and securing loving, stable homes for them.
Inspired by the endless acts of service across the U.S. from extraordinary citizens this past year, Land Rover, launched the ‘Defender Above & Beyond Service Awards’ to celebrate U.S.-based charitable organizations that are making a positive impact in their local community. To honor the 70-year history of the brand, Land Rover will award a specially outfitted New Defender SUV to seven organizations to help further their charitable efforts.
Public voting for the winning Animal Welfare organization is now open through June 28, 2021, on LandRoverUSA.com. The winners for all seven categories will be announced on Sept. 2, 2021.
