2024 Giving Tuesday & Year-End Giving |
They Come to Us Hungry and Lonely Ebert is one of many animals who came to us as a thin, hungry stray. Thanks to good nutrition and loving care at the shelter, Ebert is now a strong, confident, outgoing dog who is ready for a second chance. | Help Us Stock Our Shelves for 2025 Whether they are strays, abandoned, or surrendered, all our shelter pets need nutritious food. A consistent diet of the same type of food, as well as love and care, is an essential part of helping them thrive and remain healthy and adoptable. Why is a consistent diet important?
With more animals in the shelter on a consistent basis our average monthly cost for food is $4,800 per month and almost $60,000 per year. Raising this amount would feed animals right now plus thousands more who will arrive at the shelter in 2025. |

Thank You for Your Kindness
As 2024 comes to an end, we want to thank you for your kindness and support. Your generous donations this year have helped us give abandoned dogs, cats and other animals a happy, healthy life. We operate Upland Animal Shelter on behalf of the City and rely on generous donors to help us fulfill our mission. Although the shelter is an open intake municipal shelter, we operate it as a rescue facility with a "save them all" philosophy.
So far this year we’ve provided thousands of animals with urgently needed medical care, nourishment, socialization, training, and a joyful opportunity to be adopted into a forever home. Your donations make all of this possible.
All of our animals need your help to thrive and find forever homes. If you are planning your year-end giving, please help us give every animal the best chance for a bright future.
Together we can save them all.
Giving is not just about making a donation, it is about making a difference.
