We Are the Champions!
Thanks to your help, over $5000 has been raised for the shelter by the Lawrence GiveBack program! Participants designating the Lawrence Humane Society as their non-profit recipient generated more than $300,000 – more than any of the non-profits involved – in local spending by visiting Lawrence Originals restaurants and Checkers Grocery this year. A check presentation and award as Give Back Champions will be Saturday, so join us in celebrating Independence Day from 3-10 p.m. at Watson Park.
Enjoy food from the Lawrence Originals restaurants, beer from 23rd Street Brewery, wine by the glass, live music, prizes, and lots of fun. The festival concludes with a spectacular fireworks display. Visit the GiveBack Web site for all the details.

Supplies Needed
You may have read or heard recently of events which brought a large number of dogs to our shelter. This sudden influx has depleted many of our most critical supplies, and we especially need PAPER TOWELS – we use 24 rolls in one day! New or used blankets, towels, sheets ... along with dog treats ... are in short supply right now.
For other giving opportunities please see our updated Wish List.
If you can help, your donation of these items is very much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you!
Keep Pets Safe This Summer
Summer is here, and we all need to think about our animals – temperatures above 80 and the high humidy common in our area can be very hard on pets. It doesn't take much, and heat stress can be fatal.
Even if you are a conscientious pet owner, please be vigilant with friends, family, neighbors, etc., helping them know the facts about pets and heat. It truly is up to all of us to recognize a critical situation if we see one, and to help educate others who just don’t think about how serious this is. Taking a few simple steps can help keep pets safe.
