Note: We do not need adult cat or dog food.  We receive food from the Hills Science Diet Shelter program and keep our animals living at the rescue center on a consistent diet so that they will have a healthy digestive system. If you would like to donate food, we will use it for our pet food bank to help community members in need. If you would like to donate food to our shelter animals, please make a donation of $15 (our cost for a 40 pound bag) and note that it is for pet food. Thank you!

Donate a vehicle

Donate a bed

Help us keep our animals comfortable! We use Kuranda beds, a trusted brand known for being durable, chew-resistant, and easy to clean.

When you donate a bed in your name, it goes straight to our kennels, providing comfort every single day to the pets waiting for their forever homes.
