Animal Shelters Seek Donations and Support

Fresno Humane Animal Services is urgently seeking community support for adoptions and fostering as their shelter reaches full capacity, while Valley Animal Center is running a matching donation drive to address increasing costs amid a surge in animal intakes. Additionally, Animal Friends Humane Society in Hamilton is requesting donations of various supplies, including scoop buckets and food, to aid their pet food pantry for families in need. In Hopkins County, Emma Gibson and her classmates are building 16 dog houses for the local humane society, funded by a $1200 grant, showcasing community engagement and support for local animals. The Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department is also running a Dog House Drive, asking for donations of portable dog houses to ensure pets have warm shelters during winter. Supporters can contribute by dropping off dog houses at designated shelters or making cash donations to assist with these initiatives. Both Albuquerque and Valley Animal Center emphasize the critical need for community involvement in addressing the challenges faced by local animal shelters.
