We want to thank everyone who has been so generous with their donations of funds, pet food and supplies this year. Our pet food bank, outreach and TNR programs continue to grow. We received a greatly increased number of requests for help this year and we have done our best with limited resources and volunteers. You have allowed us to help thousands of pets stay out of the shelters and rescues and at home where they belong. On this New Year's Eve, if you would like to make a year end donation, we have included a link below. We also accept PayPal at paypal.me/helpforpetssmd
Thank you for helping us to help those less fortunate in our community who are struggling to care for their pets.

In this season of giving, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our donors who have supported our programs this year. Thanks to your generosity we have helped hundreds of families feed and care for their pets, keeping them out of the shelters and rescues and at home where they belong. You have made it possible for us to TNR thousands of community cats over the last ten years, allowing them to live full and happy lives in their outdoor homes. You have helped us prevent tens of thousands of kittens from being born outdoors, in the hopes that one day every cat will have an indoor home.

We would especially like to thank the PAWS-Potomac Animal Wellness Services in Indian Head for collecting monetary donations, pet food and supplies for us at their holiday picture event last weekend. We had a great time and appreciate all they do for our organization and our community.
