Local Supporters Launch Matching Donation Campaign

In Memory of Tilly


2024-12-18 Humane Society of Fremont County

In December 2018, longtime shelter supporters Dave and Lynda Lambert attended one of the Humane Society of Fremont County's offsite events, where they met a remarkable dog named Tilly. Despite having only three legs, Tilly's spirited personality and incredible speed—often outpacing her four-legged friends—captured the Lamberts' hearts immediately. That meeting led to an adoption that would bring immeasurable joy to both Tilly and her new family.

Recently, the Humane Society received the sad news that Tilly lost her battle with cancer, leaving a profound void in the Lamberts' lives. However, in true testament to Tilly's legacy of bringing love and joy to others, the Lamberts have chosen to transform their loss into an opportunity to help other animals in need.


Donation Matching

To honor Tilly's memory and support the mission of the shelter that brought her into their lives, Dave and Lynda Lambert have generously offered to match all donations up to $2,000. This matching campaign will help the Humane Society of Fremont County continue its vital work as an open-admission facility that never turns away an animal in need, regardless of their background or condition.

"Where Every Life Matters" isn't just our motto—it's a promise we make to every animal that comes through our doors. Just as Tilly found her forever home through our shelter, we work tirelessly to ensure that every pet receives the care, comfort, and chance at happiness they deserve. Your donation, matched by the Lamberts' generous offer, will help provide essential services including:

  • Emergency veterinary care for injured and sick animals
  • Our community pet food pantry for families in need
  • Low-cost vaccination and microchipping services
  • Comprehensive spay/neuter programs
  • Lost pet assistance and reunion services

The Humane Society of Fremont County extends its heartfelt gratitude to Dave and Lynda Lambert for their generous support and for choosing to transform their loss into hope for other animals in need.
