Did you know…?
- Every stray dog that comes to our shelter receives medical attention and care.
- We match adoptable dogs with good homes, reunite owners with lost dogs, and shelter stray dogs.

Your donations help hundreds of dogs find their way to a new, loving home — and even more dogs are reunited with their worried owners each year. Learn more about these programs below.
Whether it is a gift of $1 or $1,000, you can make a difference in reducing overpopulation through spaying and neutering shelter dogs, providing enrichment and training for shelter guests, and making sure there are funds for emergency vet care.

Programs Funded by DSCF Donations
Individual donations are the backbone of the DSCF programs. These donations are used for a variety of services, such as:
Emergency veterinary care fund
Some dogs enter the shelter with serious medical issues or require diagnostics beyond what we can afford. Oftentimes, the dog would otherwise be adoptable if its condition could be treated at an outside veterinarian’s office or veterinary specialist. This fund saves lives — helping dogs with ailments from broken bones to bladder stones.
Medical equipment and supplies
This fund supports the medical, veterinary, and dental care that happens in the shelter. This includes spay and neuter of dogs prior to placement, reducing the risk of unwanted puppies in our community. Dental care alleviates suffering, allows dogs to have a significantly higher quality of life, and helps dogs and their owners enjoy life together long after adoption.
Dog Food and Enrichment Fund
We invest in the daily care of shelter dogs by providing specialized foods and enrichment activities. Enrichment is key to increasing the adoptability of dogs and helping their well-being while they wait for placement. Plus, who doesn’t love seeing them enjoy fun foods and toys?
Shelter Volunteers
Our volunteers help with housekeeping and potty-walking. This is a priceless resource for the shelter! Funds will be used to support and recognize these local heroes for their life-saving efforts.
