How We Started
Kind Hearts to the Rescue
In 2017, a passionate group of shelter volunteers banded together to raise funds for emergency care for an injured cat that was brought to the shelter. The City couldn’t pay for costly medical treatment needed, so the volunteers stepped up to cover the costs.
Seeing a True Need
It wasn’t long before another animal needed medical care that was beyond the City budget. The volunteers could see a pattern that needed a solution.
Creating a Solution
Westfield Animal Shelter Heroes, a 501(c)(3) non profit, (formerly Hearts to Pawz Project) was formed by the volunteers. The funds raised allow injured pets to receive emergency care, and give them a second chance through adoption.
What We’re Doing
We hold fundraising events, generate donations, and apply for grants to benefit the shelter animals and staff.
Unexpected costs such as emergency medical treatments may not always be covered in the shelter’s annual budget, that's where Westfield Animal Shelter Heroes steps in to help. Through fundraising events, donations, and promotion, our ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the shelter and its ongoing need for help.
It Works But We Need Heroes Like You
Westfield Animal Shelter Heroes has saved the lives of many animals, but we can’t do it without help from caring people like you. Every donation makes a difference, and we’re so grateful for your support! Monthly donations are especially helpful because they give us a steady foundation to keep caring for our animals.
