Paws for Love 2024

2024 Animal Highlights

Dear Supporters,

Welcome to our 18th Annual Paws for Love auction! Thank you for being part of this special virtual event that will help us continue to provide essential life-saving care for stray and homeless animals in Douglas County.

We are here to provide humane care and treatment for the lost, homeless and abandoned animals of the City of Superior and Douglas County. Our community has continued to show support and involvement with the shelter in so many ways. Every dollar given during this event will help us continue our mission to care for those animals.

We hope you will delve into our fundraising site to learn more about our generous major sponsors, our wonderful auction item donors, our featured artists, and of course our astounding auction items.

Remember to bid high, bid often, and most importantly-HAVE FUN!

Thank you to everyone whose generous spirit of giving is vital to this event's success.

Sincerely,

Thank you to our Paws for Love Major Sponsors, without whom this event would not be possible.

*All animals featured in this video without listed names are Humane Society of Douglas County, Inc. Shelter animals.
