Baltimore Humane Society Leaders Are in the Doghouse!
Reisterstown, MD — Today on GivingTuesday, the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS) has launched “The Crate Escape,” a bold fundraising campaign to raise crucial funds to support the needs of animals arriving at our shelter every day. BHS Board President Andrew Levine and Treasurer David Krajewski are facing off as peer fundraisers, each seeking to be the first released after spending the day in a locked kennel. Every dollar raised today will help animals break free from a life of uncertainty and hardship, opening the door to safety, love, and a brighter future.
Campaign Details
- “The Crate Escape” leverages the spirit of GivingTuesday by challenging donors to help BHS reach its ambitious fundraising goal of $75,000. Donations will fund life-saving care, medical treatments, food, and shelter for animals who depend on us every single day.
- Generous partner Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial is matching donations up to $2,500, doubling the impact of gifts.
- Donors can give via BHS’s campaign page: givebutter.com/CRATEESCAPE
- The campaign runs through GivingTuesday (December 2, 2025), with regular updates shared about funds raised and their impacts for the continuity of critical shelter services and community programs.
Why This Matters
For decades, BHS has served as one of the region’s primary animal welfare organizations, committed to protecting companion animals and saving lives. With the costs of care, veterinary services, and pet food drastically increasing in 2025, this campaign is critical.
