Wild Paws Midwest Animal Sanctuary is excited to participate in Give to the Max Day 2025!
November 20, 2025 is Give To the Max Day! Early Giving starts November 1-19.
Thanks to YOU, our generous donors, we are able to provide a safe and natural environment for displaced wildlife. Our residents are not able to be released into the wild but are living their best wild lives at Wild Paws!
We are thrilled to announce that we have secured a $2K Match for this year’s GTMD25!
This means your donation will be doubled. Your $5 becomes $10, your $25 becomes $50, $100 becomes $200, and so on up to $2000. If we raise $2000, will end up with $4000!
