About Animal Humane Society As the leading animal welfare organization in the Upper Midwest, Animal Humane Society (AHS) is transforming the way shelters care for animals and engage their communities. From innovative medical and behavior programs to investments in outreach and advocacy, we’re advancing animal welfare and creating a more humane world for animals in Minnesota and beyond.

Every year we care for more than 22,000 companion animals in need and aid thousands more through programs that help people nurture and protect their pets.

Our commitment to an open admission policy means we take in every animal surrendered to us, regardless of its health, age, breed, or behavior. We provide extensive medical treatment, surgery, behavior modification, and foster care to ensure every animal — even those with special challenges is given a safe refuge and a chance at adoption.

As a result of these extraordinary efforts, more than 93 percent of the animals that came through our doors last year were adopted or placed within the community.

In addition to adoption, AHS offers services and support for every stage of an animal’s life, including:

z A free Pet Helpline (952-HELP-PET) that provides caring pet advice and resources

z More than 100 family-friendly training classes per week

z Pet boarding at two locations — Animal House and Now Boarding

z Education programs and camps for children and families

z Low-cost spay and neuter surgeries, wellness services, specialty surgeries, and dental care for pets of people with limited means, military personnel and veterans, and nonprofit rescues and shelters

z Assisting pets and empowering their owners in underserved communities through our Community Outreach program

z Investigating reports of animal cruelty and neglect throughout Minnesota and neighboring states through our Humane Investigations department

z Partnering with local businesses and farms to give non-adoptable cats a chance to thrive through our Community Cats program

IDEAS FOR EVERYONE

• Start early. The sooner you start asking for donations, the more time you’ll have to grow your fundraising total.

• Set your fundraising goal. Give yourself something to aim for. Many people who set a goal raise more than they thought they would!

• Make a personal donation. Be the first to show your commitment to animals in need.

• Start a team. Ask your animal-loving friends, family, and coworkers to join you in supporting Animal Humane Society and the Walk for Animals.

• Send emails. Sending emails is a great way to get your message out. Share your story and include the link to your personal online fundraising page. Don’t be afraid to follow up if people don’t respond.

• Reach out on social media. Send messages and share your fundraising progress on social media. Use the Walk for Animals social app to schedule posts, update your profile picture, and more. Use #walkforanimals whenever you post about the Walk.

• Ask about employer matching gifts. Many companies match their employees’ donations. Ask donors if their company will match their gift, raising twice the amount for animals in need.

FUNDRAISE ON THE GO WITH SOCIAL AND MOBILE

Boost your fundraising and go social by sending messages via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more. You can even use the app to create a Facebook fundraiser, which links directly to your Walk for Animals fundraising total.

Registered Walk participants can fundraise on the go by sending emails, monitoring their fundraising progress, and updating their personal page via the Walk for Animals mobile apps. Download the app to your iPhone or Android phone today!

To get started, visit walkforanimalsmn.org.
