Donations
Can’t fit another volunteer assignment into your schedule? How about helping ACS pets by making a donation of items they need and use on a daily basis. You can donate some items such as the comfortable and well-loved Kuranda beds by purchasing them directly from the manufacturer or store. Just click on the picture of the item to make your direct purchase. Or you can purchase items during your normal shopping trips and drop them off at the facility. Either way, the dogs and cats at the facility will definitely appreciate you keeping them in your hearts and on your list of charitable giving. We also thank you for your commitment and support of this community’s four-legged friends.
Desired Donations
Flea shampoo
Collars and leashes
Towels (large sizes are helpful)
Kuranda beds
Cat beds
Laundry soap
Clorox Cleanup spray cleaner
Dog biscuits
Tearless baby shampoo
Hand sanitizer
“ Adopt Me” vests
Cat cubes
Washer/Dryer set
Sponsorship
Getting the message out to the community of responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter and adoption is critical to the success of the
strategic plan which calls for San Antonio to become a “no kill” community by 2012.
There is a great need for individual and corporate sponsorships (financial or in-kind) for advertising through mediums such as billboards, marquees, bus ads, newspaper/magazine ads, television/radio ads, and movie theatre ads. Ads on items such as store receipts, soda bottles/cans, and convenience store displays also would be of great benefit.
Sponsorships for marketing items that would create “walking message billboards” also are highly encouraged. Dog/cat collars, leashes, collapsible water bowls, and t-shirts for both the four-legged and two-legged persuasion are desired along with a mascot costume.
If you or your company would like to help make San Antonio a more
pet-friendly community, call Leticia Rivera at 207-8173 or email
to get involved.
