We depend entirely on support from our community of animal welfare advocates and people who love their furry family members to keep our organization running smoothly. The funds donated or raised through special events pay mainly for our animals' care, including medical care, food, preventatives for fleas, heartworms, and other parasites, and kennel supplies, maintenance, and repairs. We have staff dedicated to the welfare of our animals, including kennel assistants, a behavior coordinator, a medical assistant, an office manager, and an adoption center manager. Other expenses include overhead such as rent, insurance, vehicle maintenance, and utilities.
