About Pins For Paws
Spare us your excuses and sign up today!!
Join us for our 1st Annual Pins for Paws fundraising event for Always and Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary. Originally, this event was to be in-person bowling, food, and fun, however, in light of COVID-19, we've had to change that plan and make it a virtual event. Together we'll all help to roll in some funds throughout the month of September, while having some FuN along the way.
Our event will officially begin on September 1, 2020. We ask that each participant raise a minimum of $75.00 and, of course, hope that you'll do even more. 100% of all donations raised for this event will go directly toward the health, care, and well-being of our senior pups. Oh, and a few cats we've started saving as well.
Throughout the entire month we'll have some activities and challenges that may pop up, so be sure to keep an eye out for them and join in when they do. You'll also have the opportunity to earn some badges along your fundraising journey. As you hit monetary milestones, these will be posted on your personal donation page.
There's not a moment more to spare, so sign up today and get rolling in those funds!! Remember all paws matter and every dollar counts!!

The Little Red Barn
Imagine a place where old dogs, sick dogs, abused dogs, abandoned dogs and unwanted dogs all came together, to rest, to live, to play and snuggle. Where meals come morning and night, classical music is always playing and love overflows. The only choice they have to make is which couch or dog bed to lay on and which visitor to pick to smother with kisses. Just a place for dogs to be. To wait in the comforts of a home until they can find a family of their own who won’t throw them away when they are old or sick or even dying. To know they are loved for who they are, at this moment and then to love us in return regardless of their past. To be the model of forgiveness and in return teach us to be better, kinder humans and to always know that even if in a small way we can always make a difference. This is the place we strive to be. This is our mission. This is our little red barn. A home for so many souls others discarded and we can’t imagine living without.
A Message from the Owner ...
"To say it's been an amazing, incredible, simple ridiculously wonderful journey is an understatement. Its more work, joy, heartache, laughter, headaches, peace, sorrow, and love than I could've ever imagined and all because of the amazing people who have come together to pour their souls into a mission much bigger than anyone of us with one common goal to help and love God's beautifully broken and neglected creatures and give them a life worth living with only kindness and peace.
3 years ago it was still just a dream. Today, well its simply magic. Last year my birthday fundraiser raised 2,500. This year I'm hoping to raise 5,000. With over 120 animals in our care the vet bills average $50,000 a month. Some months have been over $80,000!!! Insane, right? Well not really when you pull a dog knowing it has cancer or is HW+or a cat that was hit by a car and needs a leg amputated, we follow through with the very best medical care because every single animals is treated as our own, like God's own, as they should be. And when funds are low, like low low low since the pandemic and we don't know what tomorrow may bring we run off faith, because it got us this far and God has never let us down. So if you find it in your heart to donate please do,and if you already have THANK YOU! I can never thank everyone who has supported us enough for loving these souls just as much as we do."
