The Lassen County Animal Shelter is always looking for donations to befit the animals at the shelter. Here’s a little list of items they could really use at the shelter.
Lassen County Animal Shelter Wish List
- Dog food (dry) All kinds. Small breed, large breed, grain free, puppy, etc.
- Cat food (dry) All kinds. Grain free, all life stages, kitten, etc.
- Kitten milk supplements
- Dog treats. Beggin’ strips, jerky strips, small training treats, etc. (NO RAWHIDE)
- Enrichment dog toys. This helps them from getting bored in the kennels.
- Peanut Butter. Used in enrichment toys.
- Used towels, washcloths, blankets, etc. (no electric blankets)
- Used crates, cat trees, litterboxes, scoopers, beds, toys, stuffed animals, etc.
- Old kid swimming pools. The dogs LOVE playing in these in the outdoor dog runs when the weather heats up. They also double as welping boxes for mommy dogs.
- Used collars and leashes.
- Bleach. This is used every day to ensure a clean shelter.
Are you crafty?
- ‘Adopt me’ bananas/vests. These are great for our dogs to wear while on walks or for photos.
- Pinterest has plenty of wonderful DIY ideas for shelter donations. Many would be great crafts to do with the kids while stay at home orders are in place.
Monetary donations are always appreciated and are completely tax deductible. Checks can be made out to: LCAS Trust Fund. This ensures the money STAYS at the shelter and helps animals receive the care they need, whether that be simple vaccinations, heart-worm tests, leukemia tests, etc. Checks can be brought directly to the shelter or mailed to 707 Nevada St, Suite 4.
Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come first-serve basis. According to California law, all adoptable dogs and cats must be spayed and neutered before leaving our facility. If interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly.
