The WHS' 13th annual 1001 Donations, presented by Vickar Automotive Group
All donations are being matched dollar-for-dollar by four generous donors up to $60,000!
We'll share new behind-the-scenes stories of animals we’ve cared for, and stories of our volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to make sure animals receive the care they need.
If you help us reach our goal, that means we will save over 10,000 animals this year.
Please make your donation by March 28 to have it matched.
