Ways to Support Lawrence Humane During the Holiday Season

Best Friends Animal Transports

Once a month, the Lawrence Humane Society participates in animal transports. We serve as a waystation for Best Friends Animal Society , giving animals a safe place to land for the evening and rest. You know how road trips are – gotta get out and stretch those paws! These lifesaving transports move animals from an […]

Every summer, animal shelters across the nation participate in a “Clear the Shelter” adoption special.

After receiving his first dose of medication, he was sent to foster care so he would have a safe place to gain some weight before he could be made […]
