Funding and Financials

Donor support of HSSW is critical in providing care to more than 8,000 animals each year. Together, we are building a community where all living creatures are treated with dignity and respect. Whether a donation of time, money, food and other pet-related items, or donating gently used items to ReTails Thrift Store, HSSW relies on these contributions to provide care to the animals.
