Small Efforts Add Up
| Browse garage sales - When hunting for those one-of-a-kind treasurers, take a few moments to look for towels or blankets, as well as usable dog or cat items like leashes and collars that our shelter can use. | |
| Donating rarely used dog toys and equipment - if your dog doesn't use your kennel, or didn't like a particular toy you bought, consider donating the items. | |
| Encourage family and friends to adopt a dog or cat for our shelter. | |
| Donate your old car to our shelter when it comes time to upgrade the family vehicle. | |
| Pick up a second leash, collar or dish when you get one for your dog and donate it to the shelter. | |
| Set up a snack bar at work using an honor system, and donate the proceeds from your sales. | |
| Teach children to be kind to animals. | |
| Volunteer your skills and professional services. If you're a lawyer, offer to do some pro bono legal work for your local shelter. If construction is your thing, help with building or repair projects that are always needed at the shelter. | |
| Above all, don't assume you are powerless because you don't have a lot of time, money or influence. All it takes is a good heart and a willingness to pitch in, bit by bit. | |
Donate your empty printer cartridges or old cell phones. We recycle these items to earn additional income to support the shelter as we care for the unwanted and homeless dogs and cats in our community. Drop-off locations are listed below:
