🐾💙 Where Your Support Made a Difference 💙🐾

It is important to us that you know where the money goes that is raised from this event. Because of YOU and your support of the first-ever Support A Vet, Save A Pet 5K in 2024, real, lasting improvements were made at Safe Haven of Iowa County.

Funds raised from the event were used to install air conditioning and proper drainage in the area of their facility that serves as the Iowa County Pound. These upgrades are more than just improvements—they’re essential to keeping animals safe, comfortable, and healthy while they wait for their next chapter.

Hot summers and inadequate drainage can create stressful and unsafe conditions. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to create a cleaner, cooler, and more humane environment for the animals who need us most. 🐶🐱

This is what community looks like. This is what YOU made possible.

Stay tuned for more impact updates as we continue working together to support veterans and save pets! 🇺🇸🐾
