Monetary and Pet Supply Donations
We are an all-volunteer run organization. Money is our biggest need. All of
our money comes from donations and adoption fees. We use this money to pay the
sizable vet bills we run up each month at Companion Animal Clinic. Donations
can be made to our general fund or you can sponsor a specific animal. We are
also happy to accept donations of pet supplies. Some examples are collars,
leashes, toys, pet food, and crates. Please email Anna Barnes at barnesal@vt.edu
for information on how to donate. Sponsoring an animal
Rescuing dogs and cats is an expensive undertaking, and our food and vet bills
can add up quickly. You can help us out by sponsoring one of our animals. By
donating in the amounts listed below, you will provide funds for us to do the
following:
$5 - One distemper/parvo vaccination or a toy or box of treats for a foster
animal.
$10 - One rabies shot or a leash and collar
$15 - One heartworm test, 6 doses of heartworm preventative
$25 - A feline leukemia/FIV test
$35 - A neuter operation for one dog or cat
$45 - A spay operation for one dog or cat
We are also in need of sponsors for our special needs animals. This can range
from a cat with a respiratory infection to a dog that needs its leg amputated.
We are happy to accept donations in any amount you wish to give and will send
you pictures and an update of your sponsored pet!
Volunteer Opportunities
Fostering
One of the biggest needs that we have is a place to keep our dogs and cats
until we can find them a permanent home. Since we don't have a shelter, we
depend on foster homes. If you have room for a dog or cat in your home, it's
one of the best ways that you can volunteer. Foster homes usually keep their
animals for a period of a couple of weeks to a couple of months, until they
are adopted. It's easy - we pay for all of the animal's healthcare, food, and
supplies, and can provide a crate. All you have to do is provide a loving
temporary home! Fostering is a very fulfilling way to help out. If you've
thought about adopting a pet, but aren't quite sure what breed is best for
you, fostering is a wonderful way to try out different types of animals and
determine whether they are suitable for your lifestyle. You are still helping
to save the animals that you don't decide to keep as your own pet! It's a
win/win situation. If you think you'd be interested in fostering one of our
homeless animals, please fill out our foster application and email it to
Anna.
