Tribute Giving:

Make a donation in honor of a person or beloved animal.

• We will notify the individual if you provide a name and address as well as who the gift is in honor or memory of.
• A card will be sent to the person of your choice notifying them of the tribute.

With your donation please check if your workplace offers a Matching or Charitable Gift program.  If your employer requires information from us to register as a charitable organization please contact us.

With dedicated patrons The Sanctuary can continue to flourish and help more animals. Please let us know if you would consider patronizing in these following ways.

We accept donations (i.e. food, towels, blankets and much more) that help our resident animals maintain a healthy and comfortable life while living at the Sanctuary. If you are looking to drop-off a donation, please place the items in our green donation bin at the front of the Mutt Hutt (901 Nestle Way location) between Wednesday through Saturday. Please do not leave donations Sunday through Tuesday as we need time to accept the donations into the space at our facility. If you drop items off during our open hours on Saturday, please keep in mind that our adoption teams are actively working with families to try to find their new companion! 

Please note we cannot accept any items with stuffing such as comforters, pillows, cushions, sleeping bags, etc. as those items are choking hazards to our animals! At this time, we are not accepting open bags of food. Please launder any items you wish to donate as we do not have services to clean donated items and do not donate clothing or misc items that cannot be used by the animals. If you are looking to make a monetary donation, you can do so above.
