Have you ever considered donating to an animal shelter? That’s wonderful. But what to donate? What do shelters need? I did some sniffing about & found what they need most often.
- Blankets & towels – they go through a lot. Comforters not so much because the stuffing could become an issue if a dog shredded & ate some.
- Food – again, they go through a lot of food.
- Toys – There is a lot of down time at a shelter. A toy can turn a boring day into play time for a dog or cat.
- Money – the daily operations at a shelter can be costly. A cash donation of any size can be of help.
- Time – volunteers are always welcome. Dogs need to be walked & cats need play time.
- Litter – Again, a shelter can go through a lot of litter quickly.
I’m very glad there are shelters & rescues run by compassionate humans, but it’s also sad that they are needed in the first place. Do your part to help by donating.

We agree with you. Our pet therapy group always choses a charity or rescue group to donate to for Christmas rather than exchange gifts amongst ourselves. The groups are always so grateful and it warms my heart we can help them out.

Awesome! The shelter I often donate to relies on fosters to take care of their animals, and they’re always in need of more crates, leashes/harnesses, and bedding. They try to provide as many supplies as they can to the fosters, so really any and all donations can help. I’m sure you can relate!
