Kidie Thornton was a volunteer and advocate extraordinaire for our Humane Society. She left this world far too soon in the summer of 2025 after a sudden and brief illness. In her final years, she devoted herself to helping the homeless animals of Lincoln County by running the media department for our Board of Directors.

During her tenure, her fiercely determined spirit helped save many dogs and cats, and brought much needed attention to the animals who needed us most.

We would like to honor her legacy by continuing the work she cared about so deeply. Kidie’s Heroes will be featured each month to highlight the special furry friends who need extra help finding their way home.
