Our incredible donors, John and Mary Cooper, have generously offered to match all donations made through August 31st - dollar for dollar, up to $15,000! That means every gift you make can go twice as far for shelter animals.
If we raise $15,000, the Cooper Matching Challenge will turn it into $30,000 in total support for the animals who need us most. Times are challenging here at the shelter, and unfortunately, we don’t expect things to get easier anytime soon. Costs continue to rise, adoptions have slowed, and we’re caring for more sick and injured animals than ever. If you've been thinking about donating, now is the perfect time to give! Your $25 becomes $50. Your $100 becomes $200. And if we reach the full $15,000 goal, we'll have $30,000 to help provide care, food, medical treatment, shelter, and second chances for animals in need. Use the button below to donate today and help us make every dollar count. Together, we can double the difference we make for the animals who need us most. |

We will ask for a good phone number to reach you at, and then you'll complete the form(s) in your vehicle and wait for a call when it’s your turn to come inside. The clinic will run until 90 people are registered or 1pm, whichever comes first. |
