Adoption fees reduced to $50 at Berkeley Humane this weekend—Friday through Sunday, October 6-8! Now’s the perfect time to adopt a furry friend!

help spread the word!

Cleaning and disinfecting is the most important daily task at animal shelters and Berkeley Humane is no exception—which is why every day is laundry day! At 125 loads a week or 6,500 loads a year, even brief disruptions have a catastrophic impact on our life-saving efforts.

Our 10-year-old 60-pound capacity industrial washer is giving out, and we must raise $16,302.95 to order our new washer by next Monday. Your support is urgently needed!

Your donation will be DOUBLED for twice the impact this #GivingTuesday!

The Aloha Dog Project—made possible by Berkeley Humane’s Hope Medical Fund—transports dogs from Kona, Hawai’i to the San Francisco Bay Area with the help of travelers. Overwhelmed by the volume of strays and surrenders, the Island’s small, overcrowded shelter faces hard decisions, and survival for these Kona dogs can depend on a ticket to the mainland. Will you save the Aloha Dogs? Your donation will be MATCHED this #GivingTuesday!!
