Help Heidi raise money

For participating in Barkapalooza

My Story…

Welcome to my Barkapalooza fundraising page! This year, I am raising funds in honor of my foster kitty, Sunny D. Sunny came to WSHS with her week-old babies in April. She took great care of her five kittens until they were weaned. When Sunny D was ready to go up for adoption, we discovered that she had feline leukemia. The average survival time for cats with this disease is less than three years. Pete and I are fostering Sunny so she can have the best life for as long as she is able.

What I love about WSHS is they give every animal the chance at a happily ever after, even those like Sunny that are not adoptable. I am proud to be a part of an incredible organization that provides “rescue care beyond compare.”

Sunny has happily settled into our home with Toaster & Goose, and I'm sure many of you will have the chance to meet her. Please consider donating in Sunny's honor so that WSHS can help other homeless cats and dogs live their best lives.

Description

The West Suburban Humane Society (WSHS) is a private, volunteer-based, animal welfare organization that was founded in 1972 and is 100% funded by individuals, our business partners and private grants. Since our inception we have found forever homes for more than 31,000 animals, and strive to be a community resource for all pet owners.  
We want to save as many lives as we can but we need your help!  Our adoption fee does not cover the testing, de-worming, vaccinations, spay/neutering and microchipping WSHS provides these pets, not to mention food, litter, pee pads and other supplies our animals need!
  • Just $25 will microchip 5 animals
  • $50 will feed all the animals in our shelter one meal
  • $100 will cover the cost to spay or neuter one animal
  • $250 will contribute to the medical care for one of our animals needing extra care
  • $500 will cover the cost of one animal in our shelter
