❗DONATION PLEA❗

We are in need of Distilled Water, and asking our community to help us 🙏

Distilled Water is used daily to run our surgery autoclave in order to sterilize surgical packs, instruments, and other tools to ensure the spay/neuter clinic runs efficiently.

❓Did you know? Our surgeries consist of animals from different places: public members, rescue groups, AND shelter animals! Our vet teams perform anywhere from 30-60 animals on a daily basis to help reduce overpopulation! We depend on Distilled Water daily.

If you'd like to donate, please drop off donations at 3224 20th Ave SE, Hickory (sometimes GPS tags our city as Newton), or have them shipped directly to the shelter! We thank you all in advance ❣🐾
