Kansas Humane Society's Creative Fundraising Win

The Kansas Humane Society found a fun way to help animals in need. Their recent "OnlyPaws" campaign sold pet paw pictures online and raised over $10,500 for rescue animals.

How OnlyPaws Worked

The shelter came up with a simple deal. For every hundred dollars raised, they would upload a new series of animal paw pictures. In their first post about the campaign, they wrote with humor: "Times are tough, and our pets need to pull their weight, so we're selling their paw pics on the Internet."

They made sure people knew that all money would go straight to animal care. This includes food, medical treatment, microchips, and fun activities for the animals.

Paws of All Shapes and Sizes

The campaign turned out to be a big hit! The shelter posted more than a hundred different sets of paw pictures. Each one was fun to look at and brought smiles to supporters.

The collection included:

• Cat toe beans
• Dog toe beans
• Bird talons and web toes
• Special exotic animal paws

Smashing Their Goals

What makes this story even better is how the campaign kept growing. The shelter started with a goal of raising $2,000. When they hit that number, they raised the goal to $10,000.

Even after reaching their updated goal, they kept the momentum going. They posted a few more paw collections and ended up with a final total of $10,500 by the end of the fundraiser.

The OnlyPaws campaign shows that creative thinking can make a big difference for animals in need. The Kansas Humane Society found a way to make fundraising both successful and entertaining for everyone involved.
