FUNDRAISING
 
 The more you raise for homeless pets, the bigger difference you make — and the more prizes you unlock. Raising just $65 helps provide vaccines to a pet, and raising $100 cares for a litter of puppies/kittens for a day. With your help, we can give a second chance to the pets who need us most.
