Events, Projects & Committees

It is because of the community's support with various fundraising efforts throughout the year that we are able to maintain our facilities and properly care for the animals at the shelter.

Love is in the air… and so is a little harmless fun!

Looking for a silly (and totally lighthearted) way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and support our shelter pets? We’ve got you covered!

For $1, we’ll write the name of your ex (or someone who makes you roll your eyes ) on a heart and place it in one of our cat litter boxes.

Feeling extra bold?

For $10, you can sponsor an entire litter box and let our most dedicated litter box inspectors handle the job.

 How to participate:

 Email volunteers@heartofminnesota.onmicrosoft.com

Include:

• Your list of names

• We’ll reply with payment options and details

It’s all in good fun and helps support the amazing animals at the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter. Thanks for spreading laughs and love this Valentine’s season!
