Thank you to all the people and pets who joined us for the 26th annual Furry Skurry & Furry Fest on Saturday, May 27. We had so much fun celebrating all of the wonderful pets as well as raising much needed funds to help the homeless animals find love in a forever home.
Many don't realize that the Humane Society of Greater Dayton is a single-entity nonprofit organization. This means that we are not affiliated with, or report to, any larger state or national animal welfare groups. All money raised goes to help find homes, spay/neuter, protect from abuse and care for animals right in the Miami Valley!
This year we had a wonderful event thanks to each of you!
- Nearly 800 people walked or ran during our Furry Skurry race!
- Approximately 1,500 people joined us throughout the day's festivities!
- Close to 400 dogs came out to have some fun in the sun with us!
- With money still coming in, we estimate that because of all of you we have raised nearly $90,000 to help homeless pets!

Attention Kroger shoppers, you are making a difference!!
Recently our Development Director Courtney attended a check presentation where we were surprised with a check from Kroger for $9,500! This is all from individuals who shop at Kroger and have designated the Humane Society of Greater Dayton as their charity of choice. Thank you so much everyone who has done so!
If you haven’t yet, don’t worry it will only take a couple minutes to do! Simply logon to Kroger Community Rewards online and sign in or create an account. From there, designate the Humane Society of Greater Dayton (ID Number 82560) as your charity of choice. Then, every time you shop at your local Kroger store a portion of your purchase goes directly to our animals! Can't get much easier than that! This program can only be done online.
