Pet Food and Supply Drive

When:

05/01/2025 - 05/31/2025


Carver Scott County Humane Society (CSHS) is a nonprofit organization. They were founded in 1989 with the mission of connecting animals in need of people who care. Their vision is a world where every animal is safe, cared for and loved. Annually, they adopt over 500 dogs and cats in the community with a nationally reported live release rate of 97%. Each year they serve over 1,000 Minnesota pets and their families through their surrender prevention program, Fur Keeps. This innovative program aims to keep pets out of the shelter system in the first place by providing resources and assistance to pet lovers in need. CSHS only rescues dogs and cats from Minnesota, and over 80% of their animals come from local impounds.
