Homeward Bound: Help Make Home Happen Every wagging tail, every gentle purr, every joyful adoption story begins long before a pet meets their forever family. Behind the scenes, it takes compassion, expertise, and a significant amount of resources to help each animal heal, thrive, and finally find their way home. This fall, we invite you to be part of the Dogtoberfest’s Homeward Bound campaign dedicated to funding the vital programs that save lives and transform abandoned animals into beloved family members. |
Your Support Makes Adoption Possible Not every pet who arrives at the shelter is ready for adoption or is adopted quickly. Many need extra attention, care, or advocacy before they’re ready to join a family. And, with full shelters everywhere, many need extra time to find their forever home. With your help, we can provide:
Be the Bridge Home When you give to Dogtoberfest, you’re not just making a donation - you're saving animals and giving them a chance to have the joyful homecoming they've been waiting for, and the hope of being part of a family filled with love. Together, We Can Make It Happen Because of you, pets who were once at-risk, overlooked, frightened, or broken will be saved and have the chance to become cherished companions. Any amount helps shelter animals. |
Galileo’s Journey Home Our Dogtoberfest "supermascot," Gallileo, came to us as a stray, hopeful of finding a home. He’s a smart, eager guy who just needed some extra time and support. Thanks to our extended care program and giving shelter pets the time and support they need to find homes, Galileo has learned to sit, fetch, and get ready for the family he’s always wanted. Galileo’s transformation is what Dogtoberfest is all about: the behind-the-scenes work that turns shelter pets into family members. With your support, countless other pets will have the same chance. |
