As an intern at the Lawrence Humane Society, I have learned a lot about the services that our shelter provides to the local community. It has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience to work around others who are as dedicated to animal welfare as I am. The staff and volunteers at this shelter work hard every day to ensure that every pet has an opportunity to find a home, but with the current building we often run into many obstacles. The current building is outdated and hinders our ability to provide the best quality of care and comfort for the animals. With a new, more modern, facility I am confident that the staff and volunteers at this shelter will be able to provide a great experience for both the pets and members of the local community. I urge you to help this cause and donate whatever you are comfortable with, whether it is $10 or $100. A new facility will benefit our community for years to come. I thank you for considering making a donation to this great cause! Also, who doesn't love cute animals?
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.
