Other Ways To Help

Between family and work duties, most people have limited time to devote to volunteering at the shelter, but many still find their heart strings pulled to help in some way. So, below are a few ways you can help that will take little of your time.

  • Collect items such as laundry detergent (HE), puppy food, cat litter, toilet tissue and paper towels.
  • Schedule a time with your child’s school to talk to students about importance of spay/neuter and humane treatment of animals.
  • Ask your neighborhood store owner if you can put a PCHS donation jar in their store and collect the donations monthly.
  • Shop at or donate to the FOFF Store.
