Items we cannot accept:
1. "Well-loved" items- Pet items that have been loved past their prime. Unfortunately, these items are either not safe or cannot be sufficiently sanitized for kennel use in a multidog/cat environment. We ask that any items that are "well loved" be safely/properly discarded.
2. We cannot accept items that require repair, replacement parts or are more than 25% rusted (crates etc)
3. Like New items that are not pre-cleaned (ie used fleece blankets that have not been washed), toys that have dirt and litter embedded in them etc.
4. We cannot accept expired donated food-however, the local wildlife sanctuary usually can. They also usually accept open food!
5. We appreciate you thoroughly checking "like new" items before donating, so our staff is easily able to sort these items into their new homes for use.
6. If an item is not on the needed list, please do not donate it as it will most likely not be used.
