As many of you know, I've been volunteering at Lowell Humane for a little over a year now and it has changed my life. LHS does amazing things for so many animals in need.
In the past few months a few dogs have been surrendered and their bills have been astronomical. Denali needed heart worm treatment and will need double knee surgery, Baby Bella recently had knee surgery, Rex had cataract surgery, and we just out a new young guy named Ruck will need ball hip joint surgery. These surgeries for these dogs alone cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
Lowell Humane receives absolute zero government funding- they operate only on private donations and small grants throughout the year.
With all that being said, I know that we all have to pick and choose what we would like to donate to, and I know it's not often we've got just money lying around wondering "what can I do with this?"
I'm a member of the Dog Task Force which works specifically to promote the well being of the dogs while in the care of LHS and we came up with a few ideas that I wanted to share with you, and I also wanted to let you know about some fun summer events. :)
Have spare change?
Having a yard sale?
Have kids that want to have a lemonade stand/bake sale?
Considering donating a portion of these proceeds to LHS.
Upcoming/ Save the Date events:
Thursday June 25th: Garcia Brogan's in Lowell from 7-9pm Live Music, Raffle, Silent Auction, and kissing booth with Baby Bella- a $5 cover will be charged and all proceeds benefit the shelter.
Sunday June 28th: Shelter Me- movie viewing at The Luna Theater in Lowell. $5 and proceeds benefit the shelter.
Saturday July 11th: Pancake breakfast at Chelmsford Applebees $10 - we have to sell a minimum of 100 tickets so please please please, even if you cannot attend perhaps you could consider making a $10 donation?
Friday August 14th: Come. Sip. Stay Beer Tasting at Onyx Room at Western Ave Studios, $25 pp.
Thank you for all of your love and support folks, it means so much to me and to the animals in need. <3
If you have any questions or think you might attend some of these events, please let me know. Would love to see you guys there :)
