We need your help for them. For pets like my Riley that don't have a place to go until they find the right person.

The Lawrence Humane Society is where a part of my heart is. Every pet that ends up there deserves a fair chance and a place for comfort. Everyone who works there truly cares about the human-animal bond and are hardworking individuals for them. 

We could use a facility that works with us, not against us. The building has been wonderful to us while it lasted but now  is out of date and worn down. The pets could use a place that allows them to be more comfortable. I know I'm certainly thankful that Riley had a place of refuge before going home with me . She is an amazing dog and there were, are and will be more to come like her that need help. So help us help 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.
