The Animals Are Wishing For . . .

From cat litter to computer paper, and from puppy food to printers, we are always in need of items both to work efficiently and to create the best of homes for our rescues while they wait for their forever families.

For example, if you have newspapers that just keep piling up, bring them on over! We clean and line cages multiple times a day and can always use newspaper. So, consider recycling your black-and-white newspaper pages with us.

Wish-list items may be dropped off directly at the shelter. Or, for more information, call us at 313.943.2697.

Remember that all in-kind gifts are 100% tax deductible.
