Upcoming Events to Support Pets & Pet Parents in Crisis
YES TO PETS Donation Drive
September 1, 2025-September 30, 2025
Say YES to PETS — and Help Us Fill the Shelves for Animals in Need!
We’re excited to share that our beloved Yes to Pets fundraiser is BACK THIS SEPTEMBER!
Join us in saying YES to helping pets and the people who love them by making a donation September 1-September 30 to Lost Our Home Pet Rescue. Your support directly provides nourishing food, lifesaving medical supplies, cozy bedding, litter, treats, and other essential care items for pets in our shelter — and for families facing crisis situations through our Wish List and Pet Food Bank programs.
Our goal? Overflow our shelter with donations all month long so we can continue being there for every pet and person who needs us.
Want to do even more?
We’re looking for 100+ local businesses to join the movement! Hosting a donation box is an easy way to make a big impact. To sign up, email us at YesToPets@lostourhome.org.
