#GivingTuesday Is Near!


#GivingTuesday is a movement that was started in 2012. The purpose of Giving Tuesday is to create a national day of giving to kick off the holiday season. After doing lots of shopping for you and your loved ones on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, make a donation to a charitable organization close to your heart on December 1st.

Here at Lake Humane Society, we care for hundreds of injured, abused and abandoned animals each month. Without our organization, unwanted, homeless or abandoned pets in Lake County would have nowhere to turn. Families who fall on hard times would not have a valuable resource within their community. Our volunteers and supporters would be missing a piece of themselves without the opportunity to visit and help these homeless pets each day. Please help us continue to touch the lives of the people and pets of Lake County. Click here to make a tax deductible donation today: 

To help year-round, join our Circle of Compassion monthly giving program. Circle of Compassion donors sign up to make a monthly gift of their choice. $25 per month, just 83¢ a day, can provide homeless pets in need the gift of hope. The gift of love. The gift of a happily ever after. We depend on the community's continuous and loyal support. Click here to learn more.

Happy Thanksgiving!


We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of YOU! 
Our donors, staff, board of directors, adopters, volunteers, fosters, and advocates. We owe our success in saving lives and defending and protecting pets in need all to you, our loyal supporters. Without your devotion, whether you donate your time or money, we could not do what we do. We are truly thankful for you and your loyalty that keeps us going. 
We hope you enjoy this day of giving thanks with your loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!


Help Us Make Their Holiday Just As Bright
We would also like to take this time to remind you that while many adopted pets will find pieces of turkey in their bowls, there are so many unfortunate animals who were unable to find forever homes before the holiday. Help us make their Thanksgiving just as great by donating a special gift. For just $6 you can provide care for an entire day as well as a Thanksgiving meal for one of our shelter pets. 

Give this gift to a loving animal today! They will be forever thankful. Click here to donate now.

Flap Jack
Look at that gorgeous face! This handsome man is 2-year-old Flap Jack. He is a little shy and can be easily afraid but this comes as no surprise. Unfortuanltey, the health of Flap Jack's previous owner made it hard for them to care for him. And, like many of the new animals here, Flap Jack is still getting used to life at the shelter. All this sweet boy needs is a new loving home where he will get the one-on-one love and attention his so dearly misses. Because Flap Jack takes some time to adjust, he would do best in a home with children over the age of 10. Visit Flap Jack today! 


Juno
Meet Juno! This 9-month-old is full of spunk, energy and love! She is a little shy at first, but pull out her favorite toy, and you'll quickly become her new best friend. Her favorite time of the day, besides dinner, is playtime. She chases anything that moves and can easily entertain both herself and you for hours. And once playtime is over, a wind down of ear scratches and head rubs is all it takes to get her purring machine going. Since her previous owner could no longer take care of her, Juno hopes you will give her a forever home where she can grow, play, explore and just be happy! Stop in, pay her a visit, and take home your new best friend today!

Sue was brought into the shelter because her owner's allergies kept them from giving her the love and attention she needs. This laid back kitty is just looking for someone new who will give her the home she deserves. Are you that someone? 



Collins
This little baby is Collins. Being so young, he is a little shy. The world is so much bigger than him and after being abandoned and left out there all alone, he is going to take some time to adjust.
