MONETARY DONATIONS
Your tax-deductable donation helps to provide assistance to shelter animals and approved low-income citizens and for our educational programs. Assistance includes spay/neuter, medical care, emergency care, and foster pet recovery. Educational programs are targeted toward Elementary students and our library pet book program. You can help us provide educational resources in our new Education Room at our shelter for any potential pet owner.

Sponsor-A-Pet
Can't have an animal in your home?
Already have too many?
Just not ready to adopt or foster?
Would you like to donate to help a specific animal in need?
By sponsoring our cats and dogs, you can help keep them happy and healthy while we find them permanent homes.
Just think...
- Your donation of $10 a month for 3 months could pay for a vaccination
- Your donation of $20 a month for 3 months could pay for a spay or neuter
- Your donation of $30 a month for 3 months could cover most medical bills for a typical pet
You, your friends, your company, or even your pets* can choose an animal on our Adoption Page
who needs to be sponsored and then decide how much you'd like to donate and for how long. You'll receive updates
on your pet's status and your name will be mentioned on our website.
*If your pet chooses to sponsor one of our animals, we'll be happy to add a picture
of them!
To begin sponsoring a pet, please visit the Online Donation Page to make your first payment with Paypal, or use our Mail-in Donation Form to mail us your first payment.
Big Bart's Hopeful Heart Fund
Because of a generous donation from Shannon Carson and Gary Terpening, Big Bart's Hopeful Heart Fund was created to set
aside funds to help prepare pets for adoption. All dogs entering the shelter are vaccinated for deadly Distemper and
Parvovirus and many are wormed. All Condo Cats are tested for FeLV and FIV, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered.
Often animals enter the shelter in need of being "patched up" in some manner. We see cases such as collars growing
into necks, old gun shot wounds, skin conditions, flea infestations, and diarrhea. Upper respiratory infections are
commonplace among cats, requiring a round of antibiotics. There is always some sort of treatment required for every
animal that enters the shelter. Big Bart says: "Have a heart; give to my special fund to help the animals find a new
loving home."
The Emergency Fund
When animals like Clementine and Justin come to our shelter, they need immediate medical care. Amputations and other emergency care can be expensive, and although the vets kindly reduce fees for us, it's good to have money set aside. Having reserve funds for emergency care often means the difference between life or death for shelter animals. If you choose to make a donation to our emergency fund, you will be directly helping one of these emergency cases.
Darst, featured on the right, came to the shelter with gangrene. He needed his feet cleaned up and a toe removed. The Emergency Fund paid for his treatment.
