Gifts of Time
At People For Pets we have no paid staff. Every hour of work put in at the shelter is donated by volunteers who are also busy with full time jobs, family and home lives. Our volunteers come in many times a day to care for the dogs and cats and transport animals to veterinary visits, adoptions and rescue placements. Our volunteers also coordinate all paperwork, adoption applications, phone calls, inquiries, etc... as well as those fun tasks like scooping poop, cleaning and building maintenance. If you can help please contact us today. Responsible adults are needed to do everything from daily dog or cat chores, to scooping poop, cleaning, lawn maintenance and building repair. Whether you can spare an hour a week or five hours a day we can use your help. Transport volunteers are also needed.
People For Pets is an all volunteer, private, nonprofit shelter and rescue. We receive no government funding and are supported solely by private donations and adoption fees. Below are ways you can help!
Monetary Gifts
People for Pets is a 501c nonprofit incorporated
organization.
Because we are staffed completely by volunteers, with no
paid staff, you will know that your gifts of money will go 100% towards
direct animal care such as veterinary bills, food and the costs of renting
and running our shelter. With vet bills averaging over $1000 monthly, food
bills in the hundreds each month and rent, utilities and more - the cost of
keeping the shelter afloat really adds up! A gift of money is greatly
appreciated. Please contact a volunteer if you can donate generously, a
receipt can be issued to you for your donation.
Help with no added cost or effort for you!
Simply shop at hundreds of your
favorite retailers, using any one of the links below, and a portion of your purchase
will be donated to People For Pets!
