Dear Friends,
Welcome to Animal Krackers 2020! Although we can’t meet in person
right now, we look forward to “seeing you” for our first-ever virtual event,
which promises to be meaningful, magical and fun!

Your generosity this year means more than ever, as injured, sick, and
homeless animals keep coming to our doors in need of help. With you as
our partner, our rescue, veterinary services, low-cost spay/neuter and pet
adoption programs serve thousands of pets every year.

And people need us, too. During this pandemic, hundreds of families in
financial hardship have sought help feeding their animals. Our Pet Food
Pantry ensures they get the help they need, so that no one has to choose
between feeding themselves and feeding their pets.

Your big-hearted bidding – for our Live and Silent Auctions or our pet
lifesaving Fund-A-Need ­– shows the animals (and the people who love
them) how much our community cares.

On behalf of our entire board of directors and the animals we serve, thank
you in advance for being part of our virtual Animal Krackers and for giving
generously. We’re here when people and pets need us most. All because
of you.

With gratitude,

Eric Stevens			                  Tina Chenevert
Executive Director		             President, Board of Directors

Fund-A-Need
  We’re here when people and pets need us most.

Animal Krackers, our biggest fundraiser of the year, provides essential
funding that makes an impact year-round. Your donations to the
Fund-A-Need equip our shelter team with the critical resources they
need to save and improve the lives of injured, abandoned, and at-risk
animals who need us. In these unprecedented times, your Fund-A-
Need contribution supports our vital efforts to go above and beyond for
vulnerable animals and find them the forever homes and loving families
they deserve.

You can be part of our pet lifesaving Fund-A-Need by giving online
now, or by joining us on Oct. 16 for our livestream event. With your
compassionate and generous investment, KHS will continue to “go the
extra mile” for animals like Gunner, Hope, and the guinea pigs rescued
from a hoarding situation. Their stories exemplify the kind of care that
your gift makes possible. Please, give generously!

                                    Guinea Pigs Galore!
                                    When an anonymous tip came in
                                    about a hoarding situation involving
                                    54 guinea pigs – mostly pregnant
                                    females – KHS Animal Control
                                    officers located the animals living
                                    outdoors in inappropriate, filthy
housing conditions and brought them to safety at KHS. Thankfully, all
of the guinea pigs were saved, and nearly all went into loving foster
homes to have their babies – or to await a determination about whether
they were in the early stages of pregnancy – until they were ready for
adoption. Still others went to rescue groups for adoption placement.
When people and pets need help, KHS is there, thanks to the support of
donors, foster families, and partner groups.
                                                                      11
An Enriched Life
                                          for Gunner
                                          Gunner came to the shelter
                                          as a stray who initially
                                          showed signs of discomfort
                                          and fear when being
                                          touched. Our behavior and
                                          training staff conducted an
                                          assessment and created
                                          a plan to provide him with
                                          enrichment activities
to help him become more trusting, comfortable, and relaxed with
people. Our enrichment volunteers have had so much fun working
with Gunner, who enjoys playtime in the pool, playing fetch, going on
walks, and snuggling on the couch in the relax room. He’s making so
much progress, and our team expects that he will be adopted soon!

                                         Hope Gets a
                                         Second Chance
                                            Meet Hope! This sweet
                                            kitty was discovered in the
                                            crawlspace of an empty
                                            home – without food and
                                            water – by the people
                                            preparing to move into
                                            the house. They rushed
                                            her to KHS for help. Our
veterinarians discovered that she was not only emaciated but had
liver issues, as well. We weren’t sure she would make it, but little by
little she improved and began to eat. This gave us so much hope! Now
this little gal has recovered with the love and support of a volunteer
foster home and has found her forever home! Happy life, Hope!
