Here is a list of how donations assist animals:

• $1,500 will treat a dog for heartworm
• $3,000 will cover the initial medical costs for an injured cat or dog
• $700 will provide a dog with a dental procedure (must be done under anesthesia)
• $400 will cover bloodwork for a dog
• $200 will spay/neuter a dog 
• $125 will spay/neuter a cat

For those of us who passionately care for the animals in our community, we feel a great honor in offering them what their owners cannot provide due to a lack of funds or resources.

Several years ago, we realized we needed to add to our mission of offering animals food, shelter, and supplies by adding wellness care. Animals were suffering from severe skin, eye, or ear infections and needed surgical procedures or additional assistance, and had owners unable to provide the funds for that desperately needed care. Spaying and neutering are critically important as well.

Grant funds are critical to our mission of offering sterilization and wellness services to our outreach clients. Sadly, one of our grants has been reduced this year.

In 2024, we spent $12,000 on supplemental veterinary care for the animals we serve. Additionally, we sterilized just shy of 200 animals! Sterilizing dogs typically costs $120, and sterilizing cats typically costs $40.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to continue to offer services to benefit the animals. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit makes a difference. Thank you for your support!
