Alright so I am in 9th grade, and a local human society close to me is closing, The Minnesota Valley Humane Society in (of course) land of 10,000 lakes; Minnesota.
Its closing because of a budget cut and it just doesnt have enough money to keep going; with the recession going on more and more people are making the difficult decision …. feed the family or feed their pet dog, and the answer is almost always to feed the family so out goes the dog! The donations that used to be given to the humane society have almost completely gone away also because people just dont have the money. Operating continuously since 1981, MVHS has been a leader in caring for homeless animals and placing them with loving families. Over the course of its existence the shelter has had one of the highest adoption rates in the nation, placing over 50,000 animals over the course of the last 19 years, including 1,927 animal adoptions in 2009, and over 1,500 since January of this year. In addition to rescue and placement services, they also provided a variety of education and outreach services, including dog and owner training; a pet visitation program to area schools, nursing homes and care centers; and summer camps for elementary and middle school children.

Now that you know some info about the shelter, I would like to tell you what i need help on…
I NEED TO RAISE 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS to get the shelter back and running. 1.5 million dollars may seem like a lot, but when it comes to all those innocent animals who will be cast out to the streets with the loss of this amazing home… its worth it

—-> I am posting this today because honestly I need help, this needs to become more than just a school project, because I honestly feel the need to save this shelter…
If anybody would PLEASE donate to the shelter
