Be a Sponsor at the Barks and Mews Gala!  
Ten years ago it was not a guarantee we would have had the funds to treat animals suffering with illnesses as simple as heartworms with the end result being that we felt to be an avoidable loss of life. Today thousands of animals come into our shelter in need of life saving medical care and because of donor dollars to our Angel Fund, we are able to provide those services thanks to our community who donates.
