Now that warm weather is just around the corner, you may be feeling the urge to do some Spring cleaning.  And if you're not sure what to do with all the stuff you decide you can do without, why not consider donating it to your favorite "no-kill" shelter - ACS! 

We are currently taking items for this year's Annual Yard Sale which will be held Saturday, June 7th, and Sunday, June 8th.   Donations can be dropped off during the shelter's operating hours:  Wednesdays 11AM to 7PM; Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 11AM to 5PM; and Sundays 1PM to 5PM. The shelter is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.  Any type of donation will be appreciated - all we ask is that the items be in good enough condition to sell.     

Thanks to the community's generosity, last year's Yard Sale was our most successful one yet raising over $10,000!  These funds enabled us to make much-needed renovations to the shelter which allowed us to provide the most comfortable setting possible to each of our furry "guests" during their stay with us. 

We hope we can count on your continued support this year!  And remember - all donations are tax-deductible so make sure to ask a staff member for a donation slip when you drop off your items!

Are you an animal-lover who isn't in a position to adopt a pet but still wants to help a dog, puppy, cat or kitten at ACS while it waits for its fur-ever home?   Well, we now have a way you can do just that!

Our Sponsor-A-Pet program provides you the opportunity to sponsor one or more of our wonderful furry guests for as little as $10 a month per animal for a three-month minimum commitment.  Pets can have multiple sponsors and people can sponsor multiple pets. 

You can sponsor a pet in memory of or in honor of a beloved person or pet.  For example, "Rover is sponsored by John and Jane Doe in loving memory of their beloved dog, Fluffy, who was a bad dog but a good friend."  Or you can give a sponsorship as a gift in honor of a special event such as a birthday, anniversary, or graduation.
 
If you'd like to participate in this worthwhile program, please stop by the shelter and pick up a SPONSOR-A-PET form or click on the green Sponsor-A-Pet tab to the left.  Within a few days of the receipt of your completed form and payment, you (or the recipient, if your sponsorship is a gift) will be sent a letter, along with the sponsored pet's photo, confirming sponsorship. During your sponsorship, your name (or the recipient's name, if your sponsorship is a gift) and/or the name of your business will be displayed on a sponsorship card at the shelter as well as on the sponsored pet's bio on our website.  Should the sponsored pet be adopted within your sponsorship commitment period, another pet will be selected for the duration of your sponsorship term.

Donations received through this sponsorship program will help us continue to provide the best possible care and environment for our canines and felines during their stay with us.  And, since ACS operates as a 501(c)(3) corporation, all donations are tax-deductible to the extent of the law!
