With overflowing crates and corners filled with cats and dogs, the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area is hoping to fundraise money with two major events after the pandemic put off such opportunities for a year.
The shelter has nearly 300 pets in its shelter and a total of 500 pets needing homes between shelter and foster animals.Â
Because of overcrowding, diseases can spread quickly and the shelter cannot relocate animals because surrounding shelters in San Antonio and San Marcos are also overflowing.
The Kuhlman Cellars team adopted their beloved vineyard cat Nico from the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area and is looking to give back a little love with a fundraiser in August.Â
Egg smash challenges, pie-in-the-face challenges, having puppies eat cheese whiz off a guy's nose; they're willing to do anything silly to get donations.

Des Moines County Humane Society Animal Shelter will be the site of pies to the face, a doggy jail, dancing, and other fun and games Tuesday at a fundraiser for the shelter.

During his tour, Rotonda goes live on Facebook for four hours at each shelter to raise donations to benefit its animals, sometimes raising upward of $15,000.

Kris Rotonda, founder of Jordan’s Way Charities, hosted a four-hour fundraising drive for the facility on the Genesee County Animal Control Facebook page, bringing in the donations as part of his own 50-state tour aimed at making a difference in the lives of shelter animals.
“I think this is fabulous. It’s a great morale booster. It’s great for letting the public know what we’re doing here and how hard we work,” said Renea Kennedy, deputy director of the shelter. “It lets us have a little fun even though this is a very serious job. It lets the community be a part of what we are doing here through the donation and fund-raising proces
During stops, Rotonda will interact with animals at the shelters and staff to complete fundraising goals.
Throughout the rest of the week, the tour will make stops at Parke-Vermillion, Clay and Greene County Humane Society.
