A happy home for every dog and cat is what we strive for each day. Whether they are with us for 7 days or 7 months, we won't turn our backs on an animal in need...but the rising costs of providing safe shelter, healthy food, medicine, veterinary care, and general supplies has been extremely tough to manage this year.

40% of all of WCHS's donations happen during the holiday season. Animals in need are counting on your help more than ever this time of year. Please help us hit our goal of $60,000, and promise them there is help ahead.

Your Gift of:

• $28 provides nourishing food and lots of love.

• $56 provides shelter for a local animal at the mercy of the weather.

• And your generous donation of $118 funds lifesaving medicine and treatments for sick and injured animals.

Your gift - any amount - changes the life of a homeless and hurting pet forever. It can take so little to give so much.

If you prefer to send your gift in the mail, checks or cash can be directed to WCHS, PO Box 397, Brattleboro, VT 05301. Please note “holiday gift” in the memo.

Other Ways to Help:

• Many companies match employee contributions. Please consider asking your employer about a company match program.

• WCHS accepts donations of stock.

• Individuals who are 72 years old or older can donate up to $100,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions
