Who doesn’t love a furry friend? With TicketSignup | RunSignup | GiveSignup, animal shelters and humane societies can access free technology to raise more bones — I mean, funds — and support their day-to-day operations. With a single payment account that spans across the three platforms, managing a menagerie of events becomes a walk in the dog park.
Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Events to Reach Fur-midable Goals
For fundraising events that engage the whole community, GiveSignup’s peer-to-peer fundraising event capabilities are the answer. While we see a lot of 5K’s and fun runs, peer-to-peer fundraising can accompany any type of event. In these events, participants sign up themselves (and sometimes their pets), but also take their support a step further by recruiting donations from family and friends.
Bark in the Park has an ambitious $100,000 fundraising goal for the Toledo Humane Society, and the event is well on it’s way. To accomplish this, they have three participation options: a 5K, a 1-Mile Dog Walk, or a “Fundraising-Only” option. This encourages supporters to fundraise even if they don’t want to take on the miles. And the event requires everyone signing up to become a fundraiser, making it easy for supporter to share and collect even more donations from the broader community.
With a fun and colorful Website V2, the event is able to highlight top fundraisers and fundraising teams, show their fundraising progress, and countdown the remaining days to meet their goal.

Ticketed Events: Fur-raising Fun for All
Shelters and humane societies don’t just cater to cats and dogs—they throw tail-wagging events for people, too. TicketSignup is perfect for fundraising-focused ticket events, with integrated donations and family-friendly per-cart pricing.
For example, the check out the upcoming Comedy to the Rescue supporting the Longmont Humane Society. They’re using a free event website for a professional presentation of their super-hero themed comedy show fundraiser. With a simple ticket setup it’s fast and easy to get through the purchase path. However, they don’t skip all the extras: their customized Donate page offers fun themed donation amounts for “Sit”, “Stay”, “Shake”, and “Roll Over”.
Larry Brew Fest, benefiting the Northshore Humane Society, offers multiple ticket options as well as sponsor signups through TicketSigup. With a quick FAQ on the homepage of their event website and emoji’s scattered throughout, the event balances whimsical fun and key logistical information.
While Larry Brew Fest will offer on-site tickets, they encourage online purchases to streamline entry and save money.
To boost revenue, festival t-shirts and merch are available in the store within the ticket purchase path.

Manage Clinics Without Breaking a Sweat (or a Whisker)
Offering accessible clinics for low-cost vaccines and spay/neuter operations help shelters keep tails wagging and kittens from multiplying like…well, kittens. TicketSignup’s calendar-based MTE Timed Ticketing is perfect for ongoing clinic options with limited slots per-day. Timed ticketing allows shelters like the Warwick Humane Society to offer appointments to their community while limiting the type and time of the appointments each day. They offer vaccine clinics and spay/neuter clinics on a rolling basis.
For clinic staff, the calendar-based view is paw-some—it’s easy to see which days are full and where more slots can be unleashed. Pet parents can quickly sniff out available appointments and pricing, and if they forget their reservation info, they can retrieve it faster than a greyhound with the “Look Up Reservation” tool.
