In Loving Memory of Walter Umphrey
It is with heavy hearts that we learn of the passing of our friend and supporter, Mr. Walter Umphrey.
With the longtime generosity and kindness of Walter and Sheila Umphrey, HSSET has been able to rescue thousands of homeless pets in Southeast Texas and start to build our new no-kill shelter to serve our community.
Mr. Umphrey was a true friend to the animals. Our most sincere prayers and condolences go out to the Umphrey family.
