This page features articles about upcoming events such as fundraisers, showing adoptable dogs at pet stores, etc.

The picture at the top of this page is from our “Doggie Birthday Party” fund raiser in October 2011.  Organized each year by Bunnie Lester and Jennifer brewer under the guise of hosting a birthday party for their dogs, Paddie and Soleil, this event has been successful at raising money and collecting food for Warm Hearts.  Thank you, Bunnie and Jenn!!!


Our Annual Fish Fry Fundraiser Was A Success!!! Thank YOU!!!

For the 7th consecutive year, animal lovers in the community gathered at the Joplin Volunteer Fire Department to raise funds for the animals in Montgomery County.  What a great event this is:  A fried catfish dinner with all of the fixings, a huge silent auction and a fast-paced live auction! 

Of course, pets are welcome and we always have a few four-legged friends hoping someone will drop a piece of fish. 

This year was a huge success.  We raised over $13,000.00 to support our foster animals, our emergency medical fund, and our low cost spay neuter program. 

A heartfelt thanks to our sponsors:  Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa, Point 28 LLC, The Joplin Store, Turtle Cove Spa. And, thank you to our volunteersThe Joplin Volunteer Fire Department, WHHS Members and Foster Families. 

And, last but certainly not least, a HUGE THANK YOU to all who donated items, attended the function, and supported us with your dollars. 

See you next year!

A Successful Warm Hearts Fundraiser – March 25, 2017

On March 25th, 2017, over 200 people from all walks of life in our community gathered at the Joplin Volunteer Fire Department’s Fire House at Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa to support the animals in need in our county.  The good folks from Mountain Harbor Resort volunteered time and energy to clear out the fire station, set up tables and chairs, and provide the best chefs in the county to fry fish, potatoes and hush puppies for the crowd to feast upon.  Local businesses and supporters donated items for the auctions and uber auctioneer, Ricky Lee, did a fabulous job of getting the best price he could for the items.  Friends and visitors donated their evening and their funds to insure that The Warm Hearts Humane Society has the funding to continue to help the animals in our county.

One of the main priorities of our organization is to provide low cost spay/neuter vouchers to help stop the flow of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens.  In 2016, we were able to underwrite the spay/neuter of over 200 dogs and cats.  In addition to that, we rescued and rehomed over 50 animals by fostering in private homes.   This would not be possible without the support of the community.  Our expenses last year topped $35K.  We raised over $12K at our event to continue the good work. 
 
Our hearts are very warm, and we want to extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donated their time, energy and money to help make this event such a huge success.
 
THANK YOU ALL!!!
