Are You Under 16?

If you are one of our younger supporters who are under 16, there are many ways to help the animals at the shelter. You can organize a donation drive.  We can always use towels, blankets, bowls, toys, treats, cat litter, and just about any other animal related item you can think of...not to mention money.  When somebody does this for us, we love to take a picture of the items received next to the person that collected them and put it on our Facebook page.  You can get your school, church and/or neighborhood involved too.

Other Ways to Volunteer

We also need volunteers to assist with fundraising and special events.  Or, if you have a special talent or have a unique way of offering assistance, your help will be gladly accepted.  For example, one of our long-time volunteers makes blankets to give away to every family that adopts a pet at the shelter  If you are interested in these opportunities, please send an e-mail to the Fundraising Team.
