In my four years at Lawrence Humane Society I have seen this organization go through countless changes and outstanding growth. So much so that our current facility cannot keep up with us! It is exciting to be a part of such an amazing group of talented people that have such a positive impact in our community and work behind the scenes of this incredible organization to better the lives of the homeless animals in our care. Our staff works tirelessly to provide proper care for these animals and save as many lives as we can, but sadly due to our current facility, we are limited. With the addition of this new facility, Lawrence Humane Society will be able to provide improved medical, behavioral, and general care for these animals until they find their forever homes. Our current fundraising campaign has already raised over $6,000,000 and we are in the home stretch! Any contribution toward this page, big or small, is another step toward giving the animals in our community the shelter they deserve. Please, make a donation today. I'm not asking for me, I'm asking 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.
