In Kind Gifts & Wish List Items

There are a number of ways in-kind gifts (such as goods, services, and certificates) help support our work. New or very gently used items as well as certificates (restaurants, gas cards, shopping, fitness clubs, etc.) can be used at one of our many ongoing events as well as for silent auctions or raffles. The funds received from these events help support our efforts.

Items from our Wish List help in the operation of our Adoption Center and Clinic.

Things You Might Not Think Of

There are many goods that we use on a regular basis in the operation of our Adoption Center and Clinic as well as in support of our various programs some might be simple items, yet mean a great deal to us and help us provide even more care and comfort to the animals we serve.

Donations can be shipped or delivered
