Put the GIVE in Giving Tuesday - Help support HT

Like many organizations, this year has been hard on HT as we have struggled with a decrease in our revenue from the loss of major events that could not be held due to COVID.  Our puppy party program, which we love for so many reasons, is on indefinite hold and will not bring in the expected $40,000 this year. Our kids camp could not be held, resulting in a $12,000 loss. We had to cancel Chili Bingo, which meant another $12,000 loss. And last month, we got the expected (but still devastating) news that the 2020 Caps Canine Calendar would not happen, meaning a $120,000 loss of revenue come March 2021. We do not know how or where we will make up this almost $200,000 deficit and keep saving lives.  But we are committed to finishing 2020 in the best shape possible and start 2021 without having to leave any animal behind because of funding. This is a tall order and desperately need your support to achieve it!

So far this year, we have rescued more than 3,135 animals, including a much higher number of sick animals. We have dogs and cats needing dentals - we know, boring. But without them, these animals face years of pain, infection and possible death. Do we leave them behind at the shelter to face euthanasia when we KNOW we can treat them quickly? The thought of doing so breaks our hearts.  And kitten season has been a very, very, very bad one this year. Our shelters write us almost daily, begging us to take in kittens so that they do not have to euthanize them for space. And when we have been able to step up, we have faced endless bills for upper respiratory infections and especially this year, Panleuk.

As for so many, it's been a tough year. On the bright side, we've saved more lives than ever. But with a $200,000 deficit in revenue, we are facing a huge challenge.  A donation of any amount will help.  Mark Tuesday, December 1st on your calendar OR why wait and donate now. We cannot do what we do without you. Animals give us so much. And they have given so many of us the hope and love we've needed this year to keep going. Join us in pledging to make 2021 equally lifesaving. With your support we know we can do it.
