Thinking of Donating Items? Check out our Most Needed List!

 We are so appreciative of all donations! To ensure there is someone available to receive donations please drop off donations during our public visiting hours:  1 pm - 6 pm Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 11 am - 3 pm Saturday.  

 Please understand due to space constraints and sanitation protocols, we are unable to accept certain items as they simply cannot safely be used for the animals.  Area charities such as St. Vincent DePaul's may be able to accept them.  We suggest always asking a charity if they can accept what you have to donate before dropping it off.

Please note we have a surplus of hand sanitizer and are not in need of any at this time.
