Feeding Guinea Pig

THIRD-PARTY
FUNDRAISING

Over the years, hundreds of individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the tri-states have creatively raised money to benefit the thousands of lost, abandoned, neglected, rescued or surrendered companion animals at the Dubuque Regional Humane Society (DRHS). It’s all thanks to their generosity and support that we can continue our efforts as a no-kill humane society committed to rescuing, supporting, educating and advocating for our companion animal friends.
