Donate Supplies
Our needs change as new pets arrive. The lists below are updated regularly to reflect what is most needed right now.
Thank you for checking before you shop!
Stock Shelves, Share the Love
Every item you donate helps a pet feel safe, fed, and cared for, whether they’re waiting for their new family at our shelter or living with a family in our community who’s going through a hard time.
In 2025 alone, our Pet Food & Supply Pantry distributed more than 142,000 pounds of food to local pet owners in need, and donors like you made every bit of it possible.
Donations of the following are always needed and much appreciated!
- Wet & dry dog food
- Dry cat food
- Cat litter
- Kitten formula
We’re unable to accept grooming supplies, sheets, homemade treats or food, large or extra-large beds, homemade pet toys, or stuffed animals not made for pets. Thank you for understanding, and for thinking of the animals!
Looking to stretch your generosity even further? Because we buy most supplies at wholesale prices, a cash gift can often provide even more than the same amount spent at the store.
