Becky Hilliard (right), director of Northern Indiana Search and Rescue, presents a $1,500 check to Dee Hoffman, operations manager at the Huntington County Humane Shelter. Northern Indiana Search and Rescue, which has provided dogs for search and rescue missions since 1993, has disbanded and donated much of the money that was in its treasury to the Huntington County Humane Shelter's building fund. Part of the reason the organization selected the local shelter as the recipient, Hilliard says, is that the donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Roanoke resident Jean Ann Tribolet. Tribolet has offered to match all donations up to $100,000.
