Keep the spirit of love flowing throughout the month of February. Make a donation in honor of a beloved pet or person by February 28th, and your gift will be matched, up to $10,000!
Every gift will be honored with a paper heart, with your loved one’s name on it, hung up at the shelter!
Make your gift today and discover the difference love can make–and that wishes can come true.
We’ve created posters of our longest-waiting pets that can be printed and put up in community locations – if you would like to help, please download them (they are PDFs) and ask if you can post at your workplace, church or favorite restaurant or store. Every glance is a chance that someone might fall in love!
We have quite a few pets who have been waiting a long time, or who are particularly stressed at the shelter, who could really use your help!
If you’re open to adoption or fostering, please consider one of the following pets. See their bios, pics and videos here:

We rely heavily on the kindness and
generosity of our donors, volunteers
and other supporters to serve the
more than 2,600 animals who come
through our doors each year.
Please help us continue to save the
lives of homeless pets and help people
in need in our community. Together, we
can ensure that pets and people stay
happy and healthy together.
Can we have a slumber pawty?! We have kittens who need a place to crash for a few weeks…will you help?
