There
are many ways to help the animals at our shelter, including donating
much-needed money or
items
for their care,
volunteering at the shelter, spreading the
word about our terrific
adoption
services, and promoting the importance of spaying/neutering pets (we
offer free
spay/neuter).
Donation Information
Donating is easy. We accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa and Mastercard.
You can call us with your credit card information, mail us a check payable
to Animal Services or visit the shelter and make your donation in person! We
would love to meet you...and so would the animals!
Donations can be made in honor
of or in memory of a friend, co-worker, pet or family member. We will send a
card to you and your designee, acknowledging your special gift.
You can select one of the
following
funds, or allow the shelter to use your donation in the area most needed.
Donations are tax deductible (see the lower left corner of this page).
Tucker's Fund
 This
fund is for emergency vet care and goes to help animals like Tucker,
who was found with an injured leg and brought to the shelter. His
leg was so damaged and infected that it had to be amputated. Tucker
quickly recovered from his surgery and acted
like a new pup, running and jumping around on his 3 legs.
A family met and fell in
love with Tucker and took him home to join their
household. Without donations to this
fund, happy endings like Tucker’s would not be possible.
Pets for Seniors
Program
A pet is
sometimes the only companion our community’s elders have, and the health and
psychological benefits of having a pet are well-documented. This program
pays the adoption fee for qualifying seniors, allowing them to use the money
they saved to help pay for the initial items necessary for keeping a pet.
It's a win-win for the adopter and the pet!
Discounted Adoption Promotions
Sometimes, we are critically
full of pets waiting for new homes. Rather than euthanize healthy, adoptable
animals, we discount the adoption of adult pets to give people even more of
an incentive to adopt. We also participate in national Adoption Events,
promoting the placement of shelter animals. We are only able to offer
reduced-fee adoptions when we have donated funding available, so your
donation makes a big difference.
General Animal Care
Animals have a variety of
needs--and we don't always have the solution on hand. We find ourselves
purchasing meat baby food for orphaned pets and wildlife, supplements,
special foods for digestive problems, housing for reptiles and other
critters, Kongs and other toys to occupy the pets' time with us... the list
goes on and on. Money and gift cards to pet stores, home improvement and big
box stores can help us with these needs.
