Woof Down Wednesday 2020: A delicious fundraiser for homeless pets


July 27, 2020
By Matt Sterner

“Woof Down Wednesday” returns as the Humane Society of Southern Arizona teams up with several local restaurants on Wednesday, July 29.

It shouldn’t hurt to be a homeless pet, and donating doesn’t have to hurt your wallet either. Aside from raising funds for animals in need and supporting the programs provided for them, the day is meant to be a celebration of kindness.

All you’ve got to do is eat at any of the participating restaurants or order to-go, and they’ll donate anywhere from 10% to 35% of what you spend on your meal.

It’s not all about food either.

This year, popular drinking spots are pitching in to help those in need, too.

If you’re not able to visit the participating businesses to donate, but want to support HSSA and our local restaurants you can make a donation. All money donated will be used to purchase gift cards at the participating restaurants.
