We rely on community support to care for hundreds of homeless, abandoned, and at-risk animals each year. Your donation helps us provide:


  • Safe shelter for animals in transition
  • Spay & neuter surgeries to prevent overpopulation
  • Vaccines and medical treatment for sick or injured pets
  • Food and supplies for animals waiting on a new start
  • Resources for families trying to keep their pets at home


Whether you give once or monthly, everything stays local and helps pets in Auburn, Owasco, Sennett, and beyond.

Sponsor a Pet

When you sponsor a dog or cat at our shelter, you help cover the cost of their daily care, medical treatment, vaccinations, food, and more—until they find a forever home.

  • Choose a specific dog, cat, kennel, or kitty kondo
  • Help fund veterinary care, microchipping & spay/neuter
  • Great option if you can’t adopt but still want to make an impact

Your Gift Changes Lives.

Whether it’s helping a sick kitten heal, funding a life-saving surgery, or keeping a pet with the family that loves them—your donation makes it possible. Every dollar stays right here in our community, supporting animals who need it most.
