Something to Bark About
Please read updated information on our Adoption Center and Pet Health Centers during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
In just a few short weeks, COVID-19 has changed almost everything in life: the way we interact with one another, the way we work, the way we play and shop, and even the way we think about the future. But in the midst of this crisis, certain things remain the same: our concern for each other, our gratitude to you, and our commitment to the dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens we care for.
My heart goes out to everyone as we struggle together with the spread of COVID-19 causing a national health crisis. I truly hope that the information in this month's blog helps keep you, and your pets, safe during the upcoming weeks. I wish everyone well. I know that we’ll all get through this crisis together—along with our pets!
A resource everyone can use now, this program focuses on timely issues of kindness, resiliency, compassion, and hope. We’re offering all of our digital lessons at no charge until June 30th. All are welcome to create an account and discover meaningful activities and lessons for families and teachers.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. Learn how you can simplify your charitable giving while supporting our no-kill mission.
