See below for information on donating, fostering, or assistance with or surrendering your own pet.

Visit or call to donate via credit card, check, or cash. You will receive a donation receipt.

The shelter always needs dog food, kitten food, and newspaper.
Purchase food, toys, supplies from the shelter's Amazon wishlist, or this second wishlist.
Sponsor or donate toward an animal's adoption fee. By reducing the upfront cost, your contribution helps animals find homes. You can name a specific animal to support, if you'd like.
To make a general donation, please specify "special projects" to ensure that your donation goes to the shelter.

Please consider including the shelter in your trust or will. It is these gifts that enable the shelter's larger projects and purchases.

For help with your own pet (such as if you need pet food during a hardship), or if you think you need to re-home your pet, see Assistance.
