El Paso Humane Society employee spends 24 hours in a dog kennel

EL PASO, Texas - Today is El Paso giving day where the community comes together and represent El Paso.

The Humane Society in El Paso has Animal Care Supervisor Kim Lambert going “Behind the Kennel Door” to experience what animals experience every day until they find their fur-ever homes. Kim was locked in last night at 7 PM in one of their kennels for 24 hours or until they hit their goal of $10,000 dollar goal for this year's El Paso giving day. Kim says, "I want to have an empathetic experience of what these animals feel when locked up so that I can share that experience with others."

HSEP can house up to 200 animals in the kennels and has a dedicated Foster Program for neonatal and or orphaned kittens and puppies, pregnant cat or dog moms, special needs animals, and animals that are recovering from medical procedures.

The humane society is a non-profit animal shelter and relies on donations. To adopt a pet or donate go to https://hselpaso.org
