Donate your unwanted household goods, vouchers, plants, damaged stock or product samples.
TOYS: All animals love toys, so donate any old or new pet toys to keep those homeless dogs and cats entertained and happy.
FOOD: The biggest chunk of any shelter’s budget is spent on food, especially if there are many animals in the shelter. Donate pet food or treats to make a difference. You don’t have to donate pet food specifically; you can also donate things like peanut butter, canned tuna, hot dogs, fresh vegetables, etc. Even meat-based baby food
BEDDING: Towels are a good thing to donate because they can be used both
for cleaning and bedding. They are also often used to line the bottoms of the cages. Blankets are needed for bedding and to keep the animals warm when necessary. These items don’t have to be in perfect condition, so any old blankets or towels will do just fine, as long as they are usable
GROOMING: Animals in shelters must be groomed often to stay healthy and beautiful. There are many grooming products you can donate, such as shampoos, combs, brushes, nail clippers, hair cutting scissors, etc.
COLLARS AND LEADS: Shelter dogs need to be walked often to keep them in shape physically. Donate collars, leashes and harnesses to make this possible. Whether they are used or new, they will certainly come in handy.
CRATES AND CARRIERS: Crates and carriers can be expensive, so donate your old ones that are in good condition or buy a new one to donate. This can help tremendously since every shelter needs multiple crates and carriers to transport animals.
FOOD AND WATER BOWLS: We always need new food bowls to put out food for all the hungry animals they feed. Same goes for water bowls.
TICK AND FLEA TREATMENTS: Animals that end up in rescue shelters often have fleas or ticks and require treatment. This has to be done as soon as they are admitted to prevent further infections, which means that shelters always need flea and tick treatment products.
TOILET SUPPLIES: Dogs that end up in shelters are often not house trained. That can lead to many accidents, and things like pee pads or indoor toilets can help keep them to a minimum. We also need litter boxes and litter bags. While these are mostly used by cats, dogs can also be trained to use them.
NURSING SUPPLIES: If you had a puppy or a kitten that is all grown up now, you can donate nursing bottles .
MAINTENANCE: Anything related to maintenance is also needed such as paint, wood ,brushes, screws, nails, plastic sheeting and containers.
