Furry Friends' Annual Lemonade Stand and Bake Sale

Come enjoy some sweet treats on us, and help out local pets in the process!

Treat yourself to something sweet (or tangy) to benefit the animals in Furry Friends Refuge's care!

A group of junior volunteers will be serving refreshments outside our West Des Moines shelter from 1 to 4 p.m. June 18. Goodies are provided in exchange for a free-will donation.

Tell all your thirsty and hungry friends to stop by ... and catch a break from the sun by peeking inside at our adoptables :)

Furry Friends Refuge has built Iowa's first and only no-kill communities in West Des Moines, Clive, and Urbandale, meaning more than 90 percent of animals leave the shelter alive. Visit us at 1211 Grand Ave. in West Des Moines, 1723 Grand Ave. in Des Moines, and at furryfriendsrefuge.org.
