I've been volunteering with STARS as a dog handler for four years. It's work I genuinely care about, from walking the dogs and supporting their enrichment to helping with fundraising and events like this one.

Our shelter is participating in a nationwide 24-hour fundraising event beginning noon Saturday, April 18th through noon Sunday, April 19th in an effort to raise funds for our animals that desperately need our care, love and help in finding safe, loving homes. 

The Shelter Slumber Pawty is a collaborative fundraising event across the country that brings together animal welfare organizations to raise funds and awareness for shelter animals. This event directly funds medical care, enrichment, training, and the extras that go far beyond what the municipal budget covers at my animal shelter. This makes a real difference for animals in our care. 

During these 24 hours, myself and other participating volunteers will eat, sleep and 'pawty' with our adoptable shelter animals all while raising funds for their essential needs. The event will be live streamed so please join in on the fun!
