If the animals we serve could give you all big kisses they would, because you helped us raise $370,000 (net) for them at Saturday night's 21st annual Puttin' On The Leash event! We are so thankful for all the compassion and generosity from our Boulder community and supporters. The event is a very special celebration of the incredible bond between pets and people and our mission. Your support is the lifesaving difference for thousands of animals. Thank you on their behalf!
