​Quote of the day . . .

"For me a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog."

Purina Cat Chow Complete
Purina Kitten Chow Complete
Trash Bags, 13 gallon  
Dawn Dishwashing Detergent 
Fabuloso cleaner  
The gloves shown above work best;  need medium.  The clear thin ones tend to rip apart.
45-50 gal can liners as above are what we need, though we will accept others. 
 Prefer Clorox, but any brand of disinfectant wipes is okay.
Bleach, liquid, any brand.  Can use this.
Laundry Detergent HE, Liquid, any brand.  
Tidy Cat Non Clumping Cat Litter,  NEED A LOT OF THIS!

​At this time, we need a case or two of 8-1/2x11 copy paper.

We can also use Forever 1st Class postage stamps, and Casey's gift cards allow us to save substantially on our fuel costs, as our vehicles are driven many miles each month transporting animals to adoptions, clinics, etc., and for other necessary purposes.

THANK YOU!

NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET ALONE IN A CAR!

PROTECT YOUR PETS!
People are urged not to leave their dogs unattended for even a few minutes in their yard or any public place.  Even dogs in fenced yards with locked gates are at risk, so keep a really close eye on your pet and, if you notice any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
