When I worked my first shift as a volunteer, a drain had backed up and the air conditioner had gone out.  Yet the wonderful staff at the Lawrence Humane Society went forward with the care of the pets in their charge.  This building has long out lived its intended use.  We can do so much better.  Rosie, Sophie, and Holly join Don and me in asking for your help to give the pets a place to thrive and find forever homes.  Any amount helps....For Them  

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.
