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.

Interested in getting involved? Pick an idea from the list below or think of your own, then contact our director of community development for more information on how your event can make the biggest impact.
