Every time you give, you are changing lives and helping us build a more compassionate community for both people and pets. When you donate, it doesn’t just go into a general fund–it goes directly into action, whether that means providing medical care for an injured dog or providing food for our pet food pantry.
Every contribution, big or small, creates ripples of kindness that extend far beyond our shelter walls.
Strengthening Animal Welfare Across the Community
Your support allows us to tackle the root causes of pet homelessness through community programs such as spay/neuter, trap-neuter-release (TNR), and education programs at our local schools and organizations.
One of the most powerful ways your support makes a difference is through prevention. Each surgery we perform helps prevent countless unwanted litters, reduces overcrowding in shelters, and helps us ensure that fewer animals face life on the streets.
Keeping Pets and Families Together
Times are tough and families often have to decide between keeping their pet and putting food on the table. We don’t want them to have to make a heartbreaking decision such as this. Donations to help fund our pet food pantry, whether food donations or monetary donations, help us stock places like the Food Bank, Blessing Boxes, and our own food pantry at the shelter. A simple act of providing food can make a huge difference!
Adoption and Second Chances
Your gift helps us care for animals until they find the loving home they deserve. Every adoption means a second chance, and your support helps us provide essential care, including food, shelter, and medical services such as spay/neuter procedures, vaccinations, preventive care, and more. On average, it costs us approximately $180 to fully vet a 50-pound adult dog and approximately $170 for a 20-pound puppy.

Creating a Humane Future
With every adoption, vaccine, spay/neuter, and educational event, we are building a foundation for a more humane tomorrow. When you support our shelter, you are helping us create a community that values kindness, empathy, and respect for all living creatures. Together, we are changing what’s possible for animals and the people who love them.
No matter the size, your donation is changing lives. Every wagging tail, every purr, and every joyful adoption is a direct result of our community coming together. By supporting your local humane society, you are believing in our mission and giving animals the second chance they deserve.
