Host a Fundraiser

Make a Pawsitive Impact: Organize Your Own Fundraiser!

Are you passionate about animals and eager to make a difference in their lives? Hosting a third-party fundraiser is a fantastic way to support Pet Network Humane Society and our mission to provide compassionate care for pets in need.

​

Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, a corporate event, or a community gathering, your fundraiser can help raise vital funds that ensure the pets in our care receive the love, medical attention, and forever homes they deserve.

​

Why Host a Fundraiser?

​

  • Empower Change: By organizing a fundraiser, you directly contribute to the wellbeing of homeless pets, enabling us to offer critical services such as medical care, adoption programs, and community outreach.

  • Raise Awareness: Your event will not only generate essential funds but also increase awareness of the importance of animal welfare and the work Pet Network does in the community.

  • Build Community: Fundraisers bring people together, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose around a cause that matters.
