In the past we have asked for litter donations to be sent or dropped off at our clinic. BUT we have limited storage space and have decided to try something new!

We are creating a Litter Fund so we can purchase litter as needed for our fosters. So when you donate via PayPal just add in the notes “litter fund”!

THANK YOU to everyone for your continued generosity! 💕 All of these necessary expenses add up fast and we are so grateful for all the help we receive from all of our supporters!

A great list and reminder from our friends at Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota

As students get ready to return to school soon, it's important for families to remember that many school supplies, as well as common items found in backpacks & lunchboxes, can be toxic or hazardous to our pets. 📚🐾

Review the list of potential pet dangers here: https://aercmn.com/back-to-school-pet-toxins-and-hazards

Ten dollar Tuesday is a small way for you to help make a big impact!!

$10 may seem like it can’t make a big impact, but we promise it does! Our biggest current need is to help pay off medical bills for our little lemons. They deserve the absolute best care and YOU make it possible! So on one (or every) Tuesday, please consider donating $10 to help tackle our medical debt! 🙏

**Just think, if 100 people donated $10 we could raise $1,000 for our small but mighty rescue!! ❤️
