Humane Society of Sarasota County Unveils New Sensory & Enrichment Garden

The Giving Coast

In an effort to continue the mission of finding a home for every adoptable pet in its care while focusing on saving the lives of cats and dogs, and enriching human lives along the way, the Humane Society of Sarasota County (HSSC) is proud to announce the addition of a new sensory and enrichment garden to the HSSC facility. “We are able to provide shelter for animals, particularly dogs, in desperate need of help, however some of which find it hard to cope in kennels,” said Anna Gonce, executive director of the Humane Society of Sarasota County. “By activating all of a dog’s senses – touch, smell, sight, sound and taste – the sensory garden is designed to reduce stress and help them relax in their new surroundings.”
