Annual Summer Shindig and Fundraiser

Our Signature Fundraiser: A Lifeline for Pets in Need

The Humane Society of Northwest Montana’s Annual Summer Shindig & Fundraiser is more than just a celebration—it’s a critical event that fuels our mission to save the lives of dogs and cats throughout the Flathead Valley.

Why It’s Crucial

As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community’s gifts and donations to provide food, shelter, medical care, and second chances to homeless pets. This annual event is our largest fundraiser of the year, and the proceeds directly support our life-saving programs, adoptions, low-cost vaccine clinics, and our community pet pantry.

How It Helps

Every donation, sponsorship, raffle basket, silent auction item made and secured during the event helps us:

• Rescue and rehome abused, neglected and surrendered dogs and cats
• Provide essential food, shelter, veterinary care and vaccinations
• Support pet retention programs that keep animals with their families such as our Community Pet Pantry and Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic
• Educating the public on responsible pet ownership and working with adaptors on best practices
• Providing initial free training and resources after you have adopted your forever pet

A Celebration with Purpose

With themed sponsorships like the 50/50 Raffle, Kid’s Area, Food Court, tiered sponsorship levels such as the Platinum Paw, Gold Paw, Silver Paw, Bronze Paw, and T-Shirt Sponsor, businesses and individuals alike can show their support in a visible and impactful way.

By participating and attending our signature fundraiser, you’re not just attending an event—you’re helping save animals’ lives and build a more compassionate community for pets and people alike.
