Purchasing New Wheels to Save More Homeless Pets
We reunite or find new homes for thousands of lost and abandoned pets from all over Northern Nevada every year.
But we’ve grown out of our current transport van that brings them to our facility. We need your help to raise $150,000 that will provide a safe way to transport our four-legged friends!
