Dedicated to the loving memory of Darlene Barkevich Hrzina

One of the very first things people think of when remembering Darlene is her undying love for animals.  I think Darlene would be so happy to know her friends are continuing her quest and making strides to save animals from being homeless or abused.  In researching various rescue organizations, Best Friends showed to be head and shoulders above all other well known organizations.  I look forward to honoring Darlene by reminding us all that together we can make a difference.  AND respectfully bid farewell to our sweet friend by promising to do what we can in helping the less fortunate animals in this life, in her absence. 

This is not about the estimated goal, or contributing a certain dollar amount; it is about carrying on Darlene's voice.  Every contribution helps, no matter how small.

 

In loving memory of Darlene, thank you for visiting this site and familiarizing yourself with this organization.  To me, it is a promise to Darlene that we won't forget one of her greatest passions. 

DONATE TO FUNDRAISER

Since it was founded in 1984, Best Friends Animal Society has helped reduce the number of dogs and cats killed in shelters nationwide from 17 million per year to about two million. That's incredible progress, but it means 4,100 dogs and cats are still being killed in America's shelters every day, simply because they don't have safe places to call home. That number should be zero. And if we work together, it can be.

That's why I created this fundraiser.

When you donate to my fundraiser, you'll be helping around 1,600 dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, and other barnyard animals who on any given day reside at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Plus, you'll be helping to save the lives of homeless pets all across the country through lifesaving adoption and spay/neuter programs, no-kill initiatives, and more.

Thank you for donating to help save animals' lives. Together, we will Save Them All.
