My Story…

Two months in a rural animal control, skinny and smelly and with visible tumors: it was love at first sight when I picked up Skylar. WSHS brought us together, despite it being obvious from the get-go that she would need multiple vet visits, medications, and tests (and more tests, and more tests!). They were prepared to support surgery if she needed it, and while it turned out that would not be in her best interest, WSHS's dedication to their animals never ceases to astound and humble me.

WSHS has been a deep-seated part of my life for 20+ years, but this year became, if possible, even more personal with the addition of Sky as a permanent member of our family. We may not be able to cure her, but we can make her final chapter the happiest of her life.

If you are able, please join me in donating to reach my most ambitious goal ever. I donate in honor of all the dogs and cats and people WSHS ceaselessly assists, but especially in honor of Skylar.

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
