We are so happy when people think of us, and drop by with a useful item. However, sometimes, what you may think we could use, isn’t always something we are most in need of, or currently in need of – please see the list below for items we really could use now.
Please note that dry dog and cat food has a very short shelf life, especially during the warmer months when heat and insects are more of a concern. Canned food has a longer shelf life, or better yet, consider a financial contribution so that we can purchase food items as needed. (You may also purchase gift cards – see the list of possibilities at the end of this page.)
For a Financial Contribution please make your check payable to: “RH SPCA”

* Purina, Pedigree or Alpo is preferred – no “special” diets. Since too many changes in diet can result in digestive problems, it is important in a shelter environment to keep food intake consistent.
** Volunteers use treats and if they aren’t breakable, they feed too many/much at a time, resulting in digestive upsets for the pets. Please help us minimize the problem by providing easily breakable or small size treats. Thanks for your understanding!
