Be Kind to Animals Week | May 3 to May 9, 2026

Be Kind to Animals Week is a special time to reflect on the important role animals play in our lives. They bring comfort, companionship, and unconditional love. They are there on our hardest days and celebrate with us on our best. This week is a chance to honor that bond and the compassion we share for the animals who depend on us.

At the Quad City Animal Welfare Center, we see this connection every day. Animals come to us in need of care, safety, and a second chance. With the support of our community, we are able to provide warm beds, full bowls, lifesaving medical care, and the love they deserve while we prepare them for their forever homes.

Your kindness truly saves lives. Every gift helps provide food, medical treatment, shelter, and support for both animals and the families who love them. Because of you, animals who once felt scared and alone are now safe, cared for, and given a brighter future.

We are proud to continue this lifesaving work each day, and your support makes it possible. During Be Kind to Animals Week, we invite you to make a donation and be part of the impact. No matter the size, your gift makes a meaningful difference.
