Dear Animal Lover,

Wow, where has 2023 gone? Although I have always been warned that time moves faster the older you get I don’t think that has been more obvious than this year. Is it because you are older, is it because you are busier, or is it that time really does fly when you are having fun? I have concluded that 2023 has checked all those boxes. With that said let me get right to the point. The Fairfield Area Humane Society needs your support as we continue to save, improve and forever change the lives of thousands of animals and people each year. 2023 has brought us huge wins as an organization with the addition of our Mobile Unit, our first Beat-the-Heat Spay-a-Thon where we fixed 280 cats in one day, and another record year for our on-site Vet Clinic. I threw together some numbers to wrap your head around. These may be a little random, but I hope they give a little glimpse into how busy we are and how important we are to the communities that we serve.

As I was typing out those stats it hit me......time flies when you are busy having fun helping those in need. With our mission to Connect Animals & Community through Rescue, Adoption & Education in full throat there is no time to waste. Big plans are already in the works for 2024 with more expansion. A new 3,200 square foot multi-use building for much needed storage, our monthly spay/neuter clinics and dog training classes is Phase I. That will make possible a brand new Cat Wing for Phase 2! We are grateful to have those projects on our agenda due to the thoughtful giving of donors through our Legacy Endowment Group (L.E.G.) and so many more. My hope is to have you join us in helping to save lives through this request for support. Please consider the donor application attached with our new giving levels showing what your donation helps us to accomplish.
