There are plenty of items on our wish list, including monetary donations, pet food, and the items we need to run the shelter on a daily basis. Those items, like bleach, hand sanitizer, and other cleaners, we use every single day to keep our animals healthy and our shelter spotless. If you are looking for a way to lend a hand by dropping off supplies, this up-to-date list will outline all of the items we are most in need of.

Pet Food Pantry Donations
We accept pet food donations for dogs and cats. In an effort to make sure that our animals have consistent and healthy meals, we feed them Royal Canine food. But, if you choose to donate another brand (unopened), it will still go to good use as part of our Pet Food Pantry Program for individuals and their pets in times of need. Our Pet Food Pantry Program also supports individuals feeding feral colonies around the region.
Shop directly through our wishlist: Pet Food Pantry
