Woods Humane Society doubles donations during August match challenge
Woods Humane Society aims to increase the number of adoptions from 2,852 last year to 3,000 this calendar year
– Thanks to a matching donation from The Marianne and Stacy Cocks Fund, a fund of The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County, Woods Humane Society will double all donations up to $10,000 in August to assist twice as many homeless pets.
“Throughout the state and the country, we are experiencing an animal welfare crisis,” said Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux. “There are thousands of dogs and cats in need of shelter and a chance at finding a home with a loving family. That’s why this matching challenge is such an incredible opportunity. Doubled donations means we will multiply our fundraising efforts this month and be able to reach more dogs and cats in desperate need.”
With the help of this matching challenge, Woods Humane Society aims to increase the number of adoptions from 2,852 last year to 3,000 this calendar year.
“Because of the generosity of The Marianne and Stacy Cocks Fund, a fund of The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County, our community’s support this month will go even further than it normally would to provide food, shelter, medical care and adoption services for dogs and cats that have nowhere else to turn. Gifts made during the August Matching Challenge will help us save the lives of hundreds more animals,” L’Heureux said.
