Lend a paw to Save-A-Pet this GivingTuesday, Dec. 3

This GivingTuesday, Save-A-Pet is asking all animal lovers to donate in support of its true no-kill mission, which gives rescued cats and dogs a second chance at life.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that began 11 years ago and kicks off the giving season by inspiring people to donate on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and throughout the year. This year GivingTuesday is Dec. 3.

Save-A-Pet has been participating in GivingTuesday since 2014 and has raised more than $150,000. In 2024, Save-A-Pet is hoping to raise $45,000 that will help financially support their rescued dogs and cats.

“The donations we receive on GivingTuesday are incredibly beneficial to our rescue and helps in the care of our dogs and cats,” Development Manager Stacy Ellington said. “We cannot stress enough how much each dollar counts and how far it goes in the lives of these animals.”

GivingTuesday was launched as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 11 years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
