Each week, the Dubuque Regional Humane Society highlights a "Pet of the Week" to showcase a special animal ready for adoption. This week, we’re shifting our focus to something even bigger—an opportunity for the entire Tri-State community to spread love to every animal in their care. Throughout February, we’re celebrating the Be Mine, DRHS Valentine event, a month-long initiative to brighten the days of our local shelter pets through heartfelt donations.

What Is the "Be Mine, DRHS Valentine" Event?

This special fundraiser allows animal lovers like you to send valentines to the cats, dogs, and critters at our shelter. These valentines will be displayed on the kennels of adoptable animals, serving as a visible reminder of the kindness and generosity of our community. Our goal is to ensure that every single pet in our shelter receives at least one valentine, showing them that they are loved and cherished while they wait for their forever homes.

Not only does this event bring joy to our animals, but it also provides vital support for their care. Proceeds from each valentine donation directly benefit the shelter, helping to provide food, medical care, enrichment, and shelter for the animals who need us most.

How Can I Participate?

Taking part in Be Mine, DRHS Valentine is simple and meaningful:

  • Choose Your Valentine Level: Visit their website or stop by the shelter to select the donation level that works for you. You can purchase as many valentines as you’d like!
  • Pick a Pet Type: Choose whether you’d like your valentine to go to a dog, cat, or other critter.
  • Personalize Your Message: Let us know who the valentine is from. You can add your name or remain completely anonymous!
  • Let Cupid Do the Rest: The DRHS team will ensure your valentine is beautifully displayed on the kennel of an adoptable animal in a public viewing area. As pets get adopted, their valentines will be moved to our lobby to continue spreading the love.

Every valentine donation makes a direct impact on the lives of our shelter animals. Not only does it provide essential funding for their care, but it also brings joy and encouragement to the pets and the people who care for them daily. A simple valentine can mean the world to an animal waiting for a home, and your kindness helps DRHS continue their mission of compassion and care.
