Double the Love: September 1–21

This September, your support can go twice as far for animals in need.

From September 1–21, Bloomington Animal Care and Control is hosting our Double the Love fundraiser to support the Shelter Medical Fund. Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, every dollar donated will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $20,000, giving us the opportunity to raise $40,000 for animals in need of medical care.

Our Medical Fund helps provide lifesaving and life-changing care for sick and injured animals who come through our doors, including diagnostic testing, emergency treatment, surgeries and other specialized veterinary care.

One donation. Twice the impact. Twice the love.

In addition to giving online, we have several special events planned throughout the campaign where you can meet adoptable animals, learn more about the Medical Fund, make a donation, and help us spread the word. We’ll be sharing event details throughout September, so keep an eye out for more ways to get involved and Double the Love!

Donations can be made online, in person at the shelter, at participating events, or by mail. Checks may be mailed to:
