You Made #GivingTuesday Amazing

We are so incredibly grateful. Together, we met our highest goal yet!

This day of generosity proved just how powerful our compassionate community can be when we come together. Thank you to all who donated, interacted with us on social media, and celebrated the heartwarming stories we shared this past #GivingTuesday. Your support propelled us to reach our biggest goal yet! Your kindness makes life-changing care possible for the thousands of animals who walk, crawl, and fly through our doors every year, and we are so grateful for you.

We would like to give a special thank you to our $70,000 Matching Gift Challengers for inspiring such generosity with their combined matching gift - the largest we've ever had!
