Pet Supplies

Volunteers and donations are the lifeblood of animal shelters across the nation. Limited staffs care for countless animals on small budgets, grants and monetary contributions. They always need supplies, from toys to food to collars, and gratefully accept contributions. Contact your local animal shelter for a list of their most pertinent needs, although the basics are always welcome.

Food and Treats

Every creature needs to eat. Dog food and cat food in bags or cans are usually welcome donations to animal shelters. Dog treats, catnip and cat treats are also thoughtful items that help give the animals a little extra boost between bowls.

Household Goods

Animals get dirty and shelters need daily cleaning. Old towels, rags, brooms, mops, cleaning soaps, buckets, disinfectants and natural cleaners are always appreciated. Sponges and scrub brushes are also needed, as well as newspapers and trash bags.

Toys

A pet that is played with is a happy pet. Balls, chew toys, Frisbees, squeaky toys, pull ropes and stuffed animals ensure that shelter residents get some healthy play breaks during long days inside a crate or cage. Toys can help young animals through painful teething and they provide exercise the young and old.

Gear

Few animals arrive at a shelter with a collar and leash. Many shelters provide these items to adoptive parents. Collars, harnesses and leashes are in constant demand. Bedding and blankets also make the animals' temporary home a cozier place to live.

Litter Boxes and Litter

Shelters run through cat litter quickly. Bags are always welcome.

Flea and Tick Treatment

Animals often arrive infested with fleas and ticks. Medication is needed to keep a shelter from crawling with bugs.
