Initiatives
We also have donation initiatives for people who wish to donate in a more targeted way.
Sponsor One Survivor (SOS)
With our Sponsor One Survivor (SOS) initiative, donors may sponsor the stay of one of our shelter clients!
Our goal is to reach $10,608 a year in SOS donations.
See our flyer about the SOS initiative to learn more.
You may also volunteer to sponsor a pet! Sometimes, our shelter clients are afraid to leave their pets behind. When this happens, we need a safe temporary home for the pet. If you are interested in fostering a pet in your home, please give us a call at (434) 394-3505!
Item Donations
If you wish to donate items to the shelter, please call our office at (434) 394-3505 to schedule a drop off time and location. Because the location of our shelter is confidential, we will be happy to meet you somewhere to pick up the donations!
