Fundraising for CHA's Long-term Residents

Kelly Ball is organizing this fundraiser to benefit CHA Animal Shelter.

Tax deductible

Do any of the following apply to you?

You're a Dog Person.
You're never not covered in your cat's hair.
You have a cat that eats bread.
You like animals more than people.
You love it when homeless dogs and/or cats find wonderful homes.
Every time you watch a story on The Dodo , you're all verklepmt.

Yes? Excellent! Because I'm fundraising for CHA's 31st Annual Dog Jog, on behalf of the homeless cats and dogs that CHA Animal Shelter cares for until they find their forever families. At CHA, we strive to match people with pets, and nothing makes volunteers like me happier than when one of our long-term resident animals (such as Goose the hound dog and Henry the black lab mix; see below photo gallery ) finds a great match.

This year, I am fundraising for all of our animals who require long-term residency, whether it be for health issues (during my 6 years as a volunteer, CHA has treated heartworm-positive dogs; geriatric cats with special dietary needs, over- and underweight dogs and cats in need of special diets to help them recover; cats and dogs with orthopedic complications requiring surgery), training needs, or other considerations requiring a particular home environment for the adoptable cat or dog. Long-term residents often require additional costs for specialized care--which is a burden for a non-profit like CHA.

Please consider making a donation to my Dog Jog fundraiser today, to help us continue to care for our long-term resident animals . You only have until Friday, October 1!

Thank you from the very tips of my toes to the bottom of my heart.
