Donate

Even if you aren't in a position to adopt an animal or volunteer with us, you can still contribute to the well-being of the animals. We can always use, and greatly appreciate, donations of the following:

• durable dog toys (tennis balls, tug ropes, frisbees, Kong toys)
• cat toys (jingle balls, catnip toys, feather dancers)
• grooming tools (brushes, scissors, flea combs, matting rakes)
• towels and blankets, soft washable pillows
• dog and cat treats
• as an extra special treat, our dogs would be most appreciative of the donation of a
  
  
  
  The beds provide extra comfort for the dogs during their stay with us. Because of their rugged design, they have an extremely long period of use, so this type of gift benefits a countless number of dogs. If you would like to donate a bed for one of our dogs at Kuranda's special donation price, please click here.  Please note that our shelter has an arrangement with a pet food manufacturer in order to provide a consistent brand and quality of dog and cat food, so we are unable to make use of dog and cat food donations.
