'Tis the season of giving. We receive many calls and emails from generous community members asking about the best way to help animals in our care. Here's a short list of simple things that will greatly impact the life of a companion animal waiting for a new, loving home.

• Set up a monthly gift: This is an easy way to help the most vulnerable animals in our community all year long.
• Sponsor an animal: You do not need to adopt a pet to be an "Adoption Hero" this holiday. Make a donation in honor of a family member, friend or furry companion.
• Shop online: Find the perfect gift in our online shop.
• Shop on Amazon: Check out our Amazon Wish List. All of these much needed items are quickly delivered to our doorstep.
• Purchase an engraved brick or cage sponsorship: Have your message displayed at the shelter. For a limited time, all engraved pavers are 10% OFF.
• Hold a donations drive: Your department or office can help the animals by holding a donation drive. Copies of our Wish List can be found here.
