Other ways to help . . .
Vehicle Donation
Have an unwanted vehicle to donate? Just call 1-877-537-5277. One of the professional automobile donation associates from the CARS Donation Program will assist you in making a tax-deductible donation, helping both you AND the homeless animals in our shelter.
Sammy's Stars
If you can take a dog to KSDK, Channel 5 at 6:00 am once a month, it will most certainly get adopted through Sammy's Stars. This would be a great project for a retired person. With four volunteers, each person would go only once a month -- very convenient! Please be sure of your ability to commit.
As of 01/01/08, we haven't had anyone volunteer for this program. Dogs that are presented on Sammy's Stars are sure to get adopted. With just four, committed volunteers I can apply for the show. So come and help bring our dogs to the show. I can not do it alone and I need your help! Call Mary at 636-584-3304.
PetSmart
Our beautiful cats are available for adoption at the PetSmart in Sunset Hills every day. So if you can't make it to the shelter, come to the Sunset Hills PetSmart to see our feline friends!! We now have some cats up for adoption at the Chippewa PetSmart store, too!!
Dog Environmental Enrichment Program
We are trying to create a new fund called the Dog Environmental Enrichment Program! This involves building a new and much overdue dog exercise area that features:
Tall chain link play areas so the dogs can run and play.
Shade areas for both the puppy and adult dog play areas. This would give them shade in the hot summer months and shelter from the rain. Then they can go out and play, rain or shine!
Concrete area that would be great for jumps, etc. to diversity their activities.
Sand box or dirt areas for lots of play time.
This would be so great! So please think about it and help out our animals who are depending on us so much! We need donations for this program as well as volunteers to do the building. If you can help, please contact Mary at 636-584-3304 or email at Howdy@charter.net. Thank You!!
This does not have to be extremely costly, we just need several nice people to help make it happen!!!
If you can help or just want to find out more, please contact us. Thank you!!
