The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast has received a $100,000 grant from Impact100 Martin to bring advanced diagnostic technology to its surgical clinic, supporting increase lifesaving treatment speed, reduce animal suffering, and shorten shelter stays.

The humane society will use the $100,000 grant to purchase a digital X-ray machine for its surgical clinic. This imaging device will enable its staff to more expeditiously and accurately diagnose medical issues and reduce prolonged suffering and lengths of stay at the shelter.

The funding was announced at Impact100 Martin’s annual grant awards event on April 16, where Humane Society of the Treasure Coast Director of Operations Lori Tucker delivered a live presentation describing the organization’s need for advanced diagnostic equipment. Voting followed and seven nonprofits were selected as finalists, with five receiving $100,000 grants and two receiving $36,000 grants.

To strengthen its no-kill mission and better serve both pets and people, the humane society launched a renovation project at its Palm City shelter. The addition of a digital X-ray machine will directly support the nonprofit’s lifesaving work and further enhance the services provided to the community.
