Thank you so much for your support!
Raising awareness is important for several reasons:
When people know what animals in their community are going through, they’re more likely to take action. Whether by donating money, supplies, or time, or by fostering or adopting, awareness turns passive bystanders into active helpers.
Public knowledge of neglect cases sends a message that the community is watching and that mistreatment will not go unnoticed. It also educates people on what neglect looks like and how to report it, which can lead to earlier intervention for other animals in danger.
These cases also remind people that animals are vulnerable beings who depend on us for care. Stories of resilience often lead to faster adoptions.
As the saying goes, sharing is caring!
Sprout’s story has touched so many hearts, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we have raised more than enough to fully support her care. She is safe, loved, and has everything she needs in her foster home, from medical support to cozy sweaters and toys.
Because of your kindness, any additional funds raised in Sprout’s name will be used to help future animals in need. But we also want to make sure our other shelter animals don’t get overlooked. While Sprout is well cared for, many of our dogs, cats, and small animals still rely on the community for everyday essentials.
If you’d like to make the biggest impact right now, please consider donating items or funds to help the many other animals currently in our care. Our wish list can be viewed on our Donate Page.
