Right now, our shelter still has a financial obligation of $1.1M to repay. This initiative was made possible by the generosity of our donors and supporters solely.
No, we do not receive government funding. We do have contracts with select local municipalities that offset the care of animals that are taken in from those areas. For example, stray animals that come to us from the City of Watertown are funded by the contract that we have with the city. These contracts do not cover all animal care of stray animals. It only helps offset our expenses to take care of the animals we take in.
Monetary donations allow us to stretch every dollar where it’s needed most—from lifesaving veterinary care to keeping our shelter running safely and efficiently. Your support directly helps animals in our care.
