This week is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!

We cannot do what we do, without your help! Our shelter relies solely on donations to operate, we do not receive any government funding. If you want to support us this week for national animal shelter appreciation week, please donate on the link below! Early giving has started for Give to the Max and our goal is to raise $5,000 to use towards veterinary bills! So far this year we have been able to take in over 400 animals, helped 24 animals find their way home, and helped 354 animals find their forever home. If you are able to, please support us so we can continue our mission!

Early giving for Give to the Max Day has started!

Give to the Max is Minnesota's annual giving holiday. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to use towards providing necessary veterinary care for our animals. Early giving has started, if you are able, please donate on or before November 21st to help support our mission!

https://www.givemn.org/organization/Hsofthelakes

On average, we spend $75,000 a year making sure our animals receive the needed veterinary care. Each animal that comes in receives a veterinary intake exam which includes vaccinations, flea/tick preventative, dewormer, and any other needed medications such as antibiotics and eye drops. We also alter all animals that meet the requirements for surgery. Occasionally, stray animals come to us needing major medical procedures, such as eye removals, limb amputations, dental extractions, or other surgeries to heal major medical traumas.

Our goal is to make sure each animal receives the care they need to be ready for adoption into a loving family.

We are so grateful for the support of our donors and community as we could not do it without you! Please consider donating to ensure we can continue our mission.
