With five days left, Okanagan Humane Society (OHS) is hoping it can beat last year91裸聊视频檚 goal and raise $60,000 in the Raffle to Rescue Animals.
So far 494 donors have contributed to the $56,405 raised so far.
Last year OHS raised $20,000 in raffle tickets and a little more than $5,000 in donations which was a record year for the campaign, with tickets selling out two days prior to the final draw date.
In 2023, the society helped save more than 2,500 animals with its rescue and pet assistance programs. So far in 2024, the need for that program has doubled, and the pet assistance program need has tripled, according to Romany Runnalls, president and board of directors for the Okanagan Humane Society.
Since the start of this year, the organization has seen the need increase with rescue numbers doubling and pet assistance numbers tripling. This led to OHS setting the bar higher for the 2024 raffle, by partnering with three donors to match all donations up to $20,000.
According to OHS, the average cost of care for a medical emergency is $2,500, the average cost to care for a dog is $500 and the average cost for a cat is $250.
91裸聊视频淲e have just a few days left to raise the final $4,095 to hit this goal, which would be an incredible milestone for our organization,91裸聊视频� said Runnalls.
The Okanagan Humane Society is fundraising to take care of animals in need. @grizzliwinery held a fundraising event for the pet rescue organization on April 13. 鉂わ笍

During the event 22 of those puppies will be available to meet potential adopters at this event. OHS is assisting to ensure that the mom dogs are spayed and all the puppies are fully vet-checked.
