Hello Friends, Volunteers and Supporters!
We want to reassure you that we are aware of what is going on with the COVID-19 emergence.
We are monitoring Health Department and CDC guidelines to ensure appropriate action is taken when and where it’s necessary.
While we always ensure our facility is clean and disinfected because of the animals we house, we are making sure to focus also on our high traffic areas where the public is the most.
Our staff and volunteers are encouraged to stay home when sick and avoid non-essential travel.
Because we are run mostly by volunteers and they are so very necessary for our shelter to function, we are asking that our donors, visitors and adopters please refrain from coming to the shelter if they are sick or have been around anyone who has been sick. By keeping our volunteers healthy, we can ensure that our animals will continue to be kept healthy and happy every day.
At this time, no research that we have found suggests that animals can contract or be carriers of the COVID-19 virus.
We have chosen to cancel and reschedule fundraising events as the Health Department has recommended. Because of this, we need your support now more then ever. Due to the fact we are funded by donations and fundraisers only, not having the fundraising events means we have to scramble to find funding to care for our animals. Our animals still need vaccines, to be spayed and neutered, and to be treated for injuries and infections that they come in with. We also still need to pay electric and heating bills at the shelter. You can still mail in donations if you would like or we can accept donations through PayPal. You can find our PayPal link below. You also have the option to donate to our account at the veterinary offices that assist us: North River Animal Hospital in Fort Gratiot and Riverview Veterinary Center in St. Clair.
Thank you for your continued support.
