New at Pet Helpers - Vehicle Donations to Benefit our Shelter!

You can donate any car, truck, RV, boat, plane or farm equipment in any condition, from any location, to help us save animals and get a tax deduction at the same time! It's quick, easy and an all around win-win giving opportunity. What better way to get rid of your old vehicle than by turning it into the resources needed to support our lifesaving shelter and programs?

The Pet Helpers Vehicle Donation Program is a free service provided by Vehicle Donation to Any Charity (V-DAC). It does not matter what condition your vehicle is in or where you are located; V-DAC will pick up your vehicle, sell it and provide you with a tax receipt for your records. We can then notify you when we receive the proceeds. You can donate by phone at (877) 999-8322, or online.

Featured Dog: Bruce

Bruce is a handsome 3-year-old southern gentleman.  He loves exploring the outdoors on a leash with a human companion!  He’s got a fantastic hound bark and will flip over and show you his belly if he finds a cool patch of grass to relax in.  He’s a friendly fellow that has made fast friends with the dogs at the shelter.  He’s the welcome waggin’!  Will you welcome Bruce into your heart?

More about Bruce and other adoptable dogs >>>

Featured Cat: Fuzzy

Fuzzy came from a home with several other cats and dogs and is well adjusted to a variety of pets!  She and her brother, Monkey, were both born with a little birth defect – they’re missing one foot!  This doesn’t slow them down one bit, however.  They jump and run like any four-legged feline and they’re still faster than you!  These two are just gorgeous and hoping for a new home this spring!

CAN'T ADOPT?

THEN SPONSOR A PET!

We keep all of our pets until they are adopted. Some pets have been at the shelter longer than others. We know that one day we'll find the right home for them, but in the mean time we try to find them "sponsor parents." This is a great option for someone who may not be allowed to have a pet in their apartment, but wants a pet in their life. Sponsorships also make great gifts for young animal lovers.
