Hi friends-

The Lawrence Humane Society is so excited to be working towards building a new state of the art facility in the next year, and we are asking for your help with the last financial portion of our goal.  We are so thrilled that this exciting venture will allow us to begin assisting the community with some of the following amazing things:

-public spay and neuter veterinary services

-generalized public veterinary services

-assisting area shelters and shelters across the state that are at crucial animal capacity

-isolation and treatment of deadly illnesses such as parvovirus and panleukopenia 

-public education in regards to pet care and animal welfare

-pet retention, or keeping pets out of shelters and with their people!

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions in regards to details on the upcoming facility, upcoming community outreach and assistance programs, public veterinary services, or just animal sheltering in general!  As most of you know I get really excited about this stuff and would be happy to talk your ear off about it. :)  Feel free to donate in order to help us reach our goal and get this new building off the ground!  Thank you!

Every pet deserves a happy, healthy life. For more than 3,800 lost and homeless animals in our community each year, that chance begins at the Lawrence Humane Society.

The Lawrence Humane Society is a critically-needed local resource for Douglas County and Lawrence, but is being held back by limitations of an aging, inadequate, and failing facility that is long overdue for replacement. By building a new, state-of-the-art shelter facility, the benefits to both pets and people are clear: more lives will be saved; the number of homeless and abandoned animals will be reduced; and most importantly, families will be strengthened -- by having the space to find the right home for every pet, and by helping keep pets and people together for the long-haul.

We need the community's help to make this project a reality.

Whether you can chip in $5 or $5,000, every dollar will make a difference to the thousands of animals that will receive care, life-saving medical treatment, and love in our new facility. Donate now or become a fundraiser to help us reach our $7.5 million fundraising goal by the end of 2017.
