DCTV3 is airing photos and descriptions of adoptable pets from our Petfinder Adoptable Pet List . This brings our animals into local homes and results in more adoptions. This wonderful opportunity to showcase our homeless animals has been made possible by a generous sponsor.

A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal. Proverbs 12:10a

We are a group of people who care about the welfare of animals.

If you would like to join us, please email petwishlist@yahoo.com.

What We Need

Some of these items you throw away daily; please Help by donating them instead.
CANS - That's right, the shelter is collecting cans. And, anything aluminum which includes small cat food cans and small juice cans. Please drop them off at the shelter and they will not only be recycled but will help raise funds for the shelter.

OLD BLANKETS and TOWELS. Don't throw them out, the blankets will comfort and keep animals warm and the towels we will use until there are only threads left.

BOXES, like the kind computer paper comes in. They need to have a lid so they can be used for new adopters to safely transport their new kitty home.

Bleach, Washable dog and cat toys, Cat Litter, and Paper Towels to name a few. Ideas, Help with Fund Raising, and Much More. Of course, Donations we are always in need of. And please remember us when you decide to down size, spring clean, or just get rid of a few things. We have two yard sales a year and collect items year round. But most of all, you can help us by spaying and neutering your own beloved pets, so that all the ones who don't have homes will have a better chance of finding a loving, caring home, like the one your pets enjoy with you. Thanks for your help and concern.
