Melissa's Fundraising Page

Fellow animal lovers, please help me support HSHV! 

I am fundraising for Walk and Wag and Run and this is my 22nd year! Please donate to my page to help me reach my goal and support homeless, injured and abused animals. I am so grateful to supporters like you who have helped me make a real difference in the lives of animals.

Do you believe in saving animals from cruelty? In giving an injured dog lifesaving medical care? In caring round-the-clock for a litter of abandoned kittens? The Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) is there for the community's animals when they need help the most. As a no-kill shelter, HSHV has no time limits for animals; even if it takes months or years of training, medical care and TLC, they'll stick with an animal until they find just the right home. And it's all because of supporters like us. They need our help! 

Please know your tax-deductible donation will be used wisely. HSHV is in the top 1% of nonprofits ranked by Charity Navigator, thanks to their fiscal prudence, accountability and transparency.

Thank you for your help!
