Please note, any food donated that is not Hills Science Diet will be donated to Anicira’s local pet food pantry to help keep pets in their homes and out of the shelter. While we greatly appreciate the thought, we like to keep animals housed in the shelter on the same diet to reduce GI problems and help us better identify animals with potential medical issues.
RHSPCA is currently not accepting towel or blanket donations – we have an abundance and do not have room to store more at this time although we appreciate the thought! Please feel free to check with other local animal welfare organizations like Anicira and Cats Cradle.
