Membership details:
- Annual membership (July 1 – June 30)

- Renewal reminders are sent in June
IMPACT
Why membership matters
Membership provides consistent, reliable support — something we depend on as the need continues to grow.
It helps fund:
- Ongoing medical care
- Food, supplies, and daily needs
- Support for foster homes
- The ability to say “yes” to dogs with more complex needs
This kind of support allows us to plan ahead — and to step in when it matters most.
