Shelter Challenge Results Are In

On July 1 2009, our fabulous FieldHaven volunteers kicked off a unique fundraising appeal. Our "What's In A Name" challenge brought FieldHaven teams and individuals together in a friendly but fierce contest to raise money for the new shelter building. Their combined efforts raised over $37,000! Meet the teams and see how they raised the cash!

California Tax Forms Offer Donation Option for Spay/Neuter

April 15th is still a month away, but now is the time to learn how your tax return can help end animal suffering. On your California tax return, you have the option of making a contribution to the Municipal Shelter Spay-Neuter Fund.

The good news is that last year the fund raised $190,000, and is currently accepting grant applications from "eligible municipal shelters" to distribute the funds for the purpose of providing low cost or free spay/neuter services and programs for dogs and cats owned by members of the public.

The bad news is that in order for this program to continue and for it to remain on tax forms as a donation option, it must take in at least $250,000 this year. The funds from this program go directly towards combating pet overpopulation which effectively reduces the need to euthanize homeless animals in our city or county run animal shelters.

You can prevent unwanted litters of dogs and cats from being born. For more information visit the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
