Giving+Together: Care and Welfare of Animals

Like many states, Minnesota is experiencing overpopulated animal shelters at an increasingly high rate, with shelters running out of resources, space, and help for our furry friends. Join us for our next Giving+Together event, where we’ll hear from guest panelists from Secondhand Hounds, Animal Humane Society and Bitty Kitty Brigade about the latest in Minnesota’s animal welfare community.

Panelists will discuss how their organizations work in partnership to ensure the well-being of all animals, the type of work they do beyond adoption, why this work matters, and what you can do to get involved in this community at such an important time for animals in need.
