Donation Drive-Thrus

Our 2022 Howliday Donation Drive-Thru on Saturday, December 3 was a huge success! We raised more than ONE TON of pet food and $25,000 in monetary gifts, including $20,000 toward the purchase of a brand-new mobile clinic from our longtime supporter Lyn Proctor. We have also received many very generous online and mailed-in contributions to support our programs. WOW! We are so grateful to our incredible donors and volunteers. Thank you!
