Giving Tuesday
Help us fund our Emergency Medical Fund on GivingTuesday
GivingTuesday takes place on December 1, 2026 – but you can give NOW!
This GivingTuesday, Your Gift Can Make Twice the Difference!
December 1, 2026 – Double Your Donation. Double Your Impact.
Every animal deserves a chance at a healthy, happy life. But for some of the animals arriving at the Humane Society of Sedona, that second chance begins with urgent, often lifesaving medical care.
This GivingTuesday, you can help make those second chances possible, and your generosity can go twice as far!
Thanks to a generous matching donor, every dollar donated to the Humane Society of Sedona’s Emergency Medical Fund (EMF) will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $20,000! That means your $25 gift becomes $50, your $100 gift becomes $200, and together, we can make an even greater difference for animals in need.
When They Need Us Most, We’re There.
Each year, dozens of animals arrive at the Humane Society of Sedona suffering from injuries, illnesses, and painful medical conditions that require care beyond routine veterinary services.
Some need emergency surgery to repair broken bones or remove severely damaged limbs. Others require extensive dental procedures, specialized treatments, or ongoing medical care to relieve pain and restore their quality of life.
For these animals, the Emergency Medical Fund is more than a source of financial assistance. It’s a lifeline.
Funded entirely through the generosity of donors, the EMF allows the Humane Society of Sedona to provide critical veterinary care when animals need it most, giving them the opportunity to heal, recover, and find loving homes.
Sue’s Second Chance at a Life Without Pain
Sweet Sue arrived at the Humane Society of Sedona in desperate need of medical attention. Both of her eyes were severely damaged, causing significant discomfort, and she was also suffering from advanced dental disease.
To give Sue the best chance at a comfortable, happy life, veterinarians made the difficult decision to surgically remove both of her eyes. Along with extensive dental treatment, this lifesaving care has given Sue the opportunity to heal and begin a new chapter.
Despite everything she’s been through, Sue’s sweet spirit shines through! She’s adapting remarkably well to life without sight, learning to navigate her surroundings with the help of a special halo harness and growing more confident every day.
Sue’s journey isn’t over yet. She remains in the shelter’s care, receiving medication, ongoing treatment, and plenty of love as she continues to recover.
Her medical expenses have already reached $2,620, and her care is ongoing.
Sue is just one of the many animals who depend on the Emergency Medical Fund for a second chance.
This GivingTuesday, your donation can go twice as far in helping animals like Sue receive the critical care they deserve.
Meow Meow’s Second Chance at a Pain-Free Life
Sweet Meow Meow arrived at the Humane Society of Sedona suffering from severe dental disease and stomatitis, a painful inflammatory condition affecting her mouth and gums. Her condition was so advanced that even something as simple as eating could be uncomfortable.
After a thorough veterinary examination, Meow Meow was diagnosed with Stage 4 dental disease, the most severe classification. To relieve her pain and give her the best chance at a healthy future, she underwent extensive dental surgery that required the removal of nearly all her teeth.
Thanks to the lifesaving medical care made possible by the Emergency Medical Fund, Meow Meow received the treatment she desperately needed. She recovered beautifully, and the best part of her story? She found her forever home!
Today, Meow Meow’s story is a reminder that every animal deserves to live free from pain, surrounded by love.
This GivingTuesday, your gift can help provide the same second chance for another animal in need. And with every donation matched, your compassion can go twice as far!
Xena’s Journey from a Difficult Beginning to a Happy Ending
Little Xena arrived at the Humane Society of Sedona as a puppy after being rescued from an overcrowded living situation. She and the other puppies were severely underweight, in poor health, and in desperate need of medical attention.
Despite her difficult start, Xena had a heart full of love. In fact, she was one of the most affectionate puppies the shelter had ever cared for!
Along with treatment for parasites and other health concerns, Xena required surgery to correct an eye condition involving a prolapsed gland of her third eyelid. With specialized veterinary care, medication, and plenty of TLC, she began her journey toward a healthier, happier life.
Thankfully, Xena made a wonderful recovery, and her story has a beautiful ending. She found her forever home and is now thriving with a family of her own!
Xena’s journey is a reminder that even the smallest animals can face significant medical challenges, and that early intervention can make all the difference.
This GivingTuesday, your gift to the Emergency Medical Fund can help another animal like Xena get the care they need and the second chance they deserve.
Thank you for helping us provide lifesaving medical care to every in need animal who comes through our door!
Thank You from Our Animals Who Have Been Saved by the Emergency Medical Fund Over the Years!
