Ways to Give
Because of you, local animals will receive the life-saving care they need to get their second chance. However you choose to donate, your gift will help the homeless, abused, and unwanted animals in our community
Tribute Gifts
Honor or memorialize your loved ones by supporting our shelter animals in their name. We can notify your loved one by sending a personalized card or e-card on your behalf.

Legacy Giving
Ensure future local animals receive the life-saving care they need by including our shelter in your will or estate plans. You can use our free online tool to help create your will or trust.

Please note: No national-sounding organizations provide us any financial support. The ASPCA (which is actually a local humane society for Manhattan in New York City), Humane World for Animals (formerly HSUS), and Best Friends Animal Society (Best Friends) are known for their work on behalf of animals, but they do not provide any direct care for animals here on the Peninsula. Individual circumstances vary. Information contained on this site does not constitute legal or tax advice. Individuals should consult with their financial advisor and/or attorney for advice.
