Support a Pet Family in Need this Holiday Season

Want to help more pets stay in their homes? Contribute to our Angel Tree for Dorchester County residents!

Times have been extremely tough and costs to care for animals are rising. We want to help keep more pets in their homes by providing necessary supplies, such as food and litter, to owners.

We are asking for our community’s help to keep owned pets in their homes!

Ruff-ready to help? All you have to do is:

  1. Choose the family you want to help (you can choose to contribute to all or part of their wishlist)
  2. Purchase items
    • If you would like to purchase the items yourself, please wrap and drop-off items to the shelter (During operating hours 12-5 PM). Make sure to tell a staff member that it is for the angel tree!
    • If you would like to donate monetarily, donate HERE and we will purchase and wrap the items for you! Please write in the comment section that it is for the Angel Tree.
  3. We will deliver the supplies to pet owners on Dec. 23rd!
