Supporting the Humane Society of Scott County: A Partnership with Necker’s Jewelers’ Gift of Giving Program
As the new year approaches, many people are looking for ways to give back to their communities, support meaningful causes, and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. One such opportunity to give back in the Quad Cities comes in the form of a special partnership between the Humane Society of Scott County (HSSC) and Necker’s Jewelers through our Gift of Giving program. This collaboration combines the spirit of the season with a chance to support local animals, all while offering a unique way to give back to the community.
The Humane Society of Scott County: A Lifeline for Animals
The Humane Society of Scott County, located in Davenport, Iowa, is a vital resource for animals in need across the Quad Cities area. With a mission to provide shelter, care, and adoption services for abandoned, abused, and stray animals, HSSC serves as a safe haven for pets in crisis. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, or other companion animal, the organization works to ensure that every animal receives the medical care, compassion, and second chances they deserve.
HSSC not only provides a shelter for animals awaiting adoption, but they also run a range of community outreach programs aimed at educating the public on responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter practices, and the importance of adoption. Their efforts to reduce the number of unwanted animals and promote animal welfare have made a significant impact in the region. However, running a shelter and offering these vital services comes with high costs—veterinary care, food, shelter maintenance, and more—making fundraising efforts essential to their mission.
Necker’s Jewelers’ Gift of Giving Program: A Win-Win for Animals and Shoppers
One of the most exciting ways that local residents can support the Humane Society of Scott County in January is by participating in our Gift of Giving program. When you purchase jewelry from Necker’s during this time, a percentage of the sale will directly support the HSSC’s life-saving work, including the care and adoption of animals, veterinary expenses, and community outreach programs.
Not only does this provide an opportunity to purchase a gift for a loved one, but it also makes your purchase an act of kindness, helping animals in need right here in the Quad Cities area. Whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring, a anniversary gift, or just something special, your purchase will go a long way in improving the lives of the animals at HSSC.

Why Support the Humane Society of Scott County?
Supporting the Humane Society of Scott County through the Gift of Giving program (or through any other means) is an impactful way to make a difference in the community. Here are just a few of the reasons why your support is so important:
- Rescue and Adoption: HSSC rescues hundreds of animals each year, many of whom are abused, neglected, or abandoned. Your support helps fund the rescue process and ensure that these animals receive the medical care, shelter, and love they need while they await adoption.
- Veterinary Care: Many animals at the shelter require medical treatment, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and surgeries. Donations help cover the cost of veterinary bills, ensuring that every animal receives the care it needs.
- Spay/Neuter Programs: HSSC is committed to reducing pet overpopulation through its low-cost spay and neuter programs. Your contributions help support these efforts, which not only help animals in the shelter but also reduce the number of unwanted animals in the community.
- Education and Outreach: The organization runs public education campaigns aimed at promoting responsible pet ownership, preventing cruelty, and encouraging adoption. By supporting HSSC, you’re helping to build a more compassionate community.
- Adoption Support: The Humane Society of Scott County works to match every animal with a loving forever home. Your donations help reduce adoption fees and provide incentives for people to adopt rather than buy from breeders, which helps reduce the number of homeless animals.
