50/50 Raffle
We’re doing it again! AFH is holding a 50/50 raffle!
So far we have raised $12,200
towards our $40,000
target! That‘s 31%
of the total! The raffle winner gets 50% of the total amount raised, the rescue gets the other 50% (thus 50/50!)
A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (AFH) is hosting a 50/50 raffle, with half of the proceeds going to one lucky winner and the other half going directly to support the medical expenses of the rescue’s pups.
AFH has saved many thousands of abused, neglected, abandoned, and unwanted puppies and dogs over our 20+ years of operation. Veterinary expenses are our single largest expenditure, often tens of thousands of dollars a month. Not only will proceeds from this raffle help us to continue to provide quality medical care for the animals in rescue, but also it will give us a little cushion to cover extraordinary medical costs such as surgeries, heartworm treatments, and emergency medical situations.
With a maximum of 2,000 tickets available, your odds of winning are great, and the impact you’ll make on the lives of these animals is even greater. You do not need to be present to win.
So why wait? Buy your tickets today and help make a difference in the lives of dogs in need. Who knows? You could be the lucky winner of the 50/50 raffle and walk away with up to $20,000 in cash, all while knowing that your contribution helped make the world a better place for dogs in need. You will receive a confirmation email following the successful completion of the purchase of your ticket(s). The winner will be drawn on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
Girls on the Run Fundraiser!
The Waples Mill Elementary Girls on the Run team hosted a “Pizza for Pups & Cookies for Cats” pizza and bake sale on May 15th! The girls brainstormed, planned, and implemented the event independently with guidance from their Girls on the Run (GOTR) coaches. This community impact project is one of the girls’ capstones upon completing the 10-week program that focuses on preparing them with life skills to help them be healthy, joyful, and confident. On Saturday, May 20th, the girls completed their second capstone – a 5K run/walk – celebrating all their accomplishments. The Waples Mill GOTR team all have an enthusiastic passion for helping those in our community, especially our four-legged friends, and said this “was the best service project” they’ve ever done! The girls are proud to share that their efforts raised $200 for A Forever Home and are happy to help the pups and kittens in our community.

Look Who Went Home!
Lucy (Monica’s Belle)
Hi, We adopted Monica’s Belle in November. She now goes by Lucy and has settled into our home and our hearts very well! We graduated from Puppy Kindergarten class this evening and thought we would share a photo of the goodest girl 😉. Thank you for all the care you guys gave her. I know she had a wonderful foster Mom in Tricia (who I believe went on to adopt Lucy’s brother Thor). The strong start she got in her foster home has gone a long way in making her a success.
