Before the Year Ends, One More Dog Is Waiting
Dear friend, Her name is Juno. When she arrived at Bright Path in October, she weighed eighteen pounds less than she should have and wouldn't look a single volunteer in the eye. Six weeks later, she's sleeping in a foster home with two kids and a rescue cat named Pretzel. That happened because of people like you.
This fall has been our busiest ever. Intake is up 34% from last year — owner surrenders from families who can't make rent, strays picked up on the roadside, seniors left behind after moves. Every one of them comes through our doors needing the same three things: safe shelter, medical care, and someone with the patience to believe they're still worth loving. We operate on a $180,000 annual budget. There's no paid executive director. There's no grant officer. There is a small team of volunteers, a veterinarian who charges us at cost, and donors like you who make the whole improbable enterprise work. Before December 31, we need to raise $22,000 to close our 2026 operating gap. Your gift — at any level — goes straight to the animals. It pays for vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, and the one thing that matters most: a second chance.
Will you give before December 31?
