Donate Supplies

Supplies are always needed to help care for pets in our safekeeping program and those supported through our pet food bank. We gladly accept new or gently used items like pet food, toys, beds, leashes, grooming tools, crates, and more.

Some donated items may also be sold in our thrift store, You Thrifty Animal, with 100% of proceeds going directly back into our programs — helping even more pets and families in need.
