The power of $1,000

Your phenomenal fundraising efforts make a difference in the lives of animals.

A life-changing ride
A gift of $1,000 funds the transport of 10 dogs from an overcrowded shelter partner to safety at AHS, where they’ll receive loving care while they wait for their second chance.

A brighter future
We’re helping vulnerable animals in our community find loving new homes — no matter how long it takes. A gift of $1,000 allows us to provide 13 days of basic housing and care for a cat in our shelter.

A second chance
As a local leader in animal welfare, AHS can provide specialty orthopedic and dental surgeries, X-rays, and ultrasounds — all on-site. A gift of $1,000 provides X-rays for eight injured animals in need of diagnosis.
