How Can I Donate?
We get asked that question a lot, so thought we'd list some of the ways here.  Not only can you give money, but items are a big help, whether for use in our shelter, or to sell at our biannual yard sales. We also need businesses to donate their services; see the Friends & Pet Partnerships to see how we'll help your business if you help ours! Volunteers are always needed; please see our Volunteers Corner page for more info on that!
Here are some ways to help:

Want to be an Angel for the Animals? 

-Thank you to Justine Noble for drawing our Angel logo!
 
By being a Guardian Angel, you choose a dog kennel, puppy pen, or cat/kitten cage, and sponsor all the pets that reside there for a year. For $101*, you can be an Angel for the animals! For $501*, you can be an Archangel!  You will receive a certificate, and one is posted on your kennel/cage for a year. Choose to honor someone, or have a memorial for someone - people or pets - on your certificate!   
 (*Online form won't duplicate amounts, so it's $101 & $501 online)
 
Your empty printer cartridges bring cash for the Shelter Pets! Charles Smithgall Humane Society is now a member of the Office Depot Recycling Rewards Program.  Under the program, we can redeem ANY brand used printer cartridges and receive $3 credit per cartridge for up to 20 cartridges a month!

How about a Special Funds Donation?
We have a few special funds you can donate to, if you'd like to donate to a specific cause.  Charlie's Fund was set up to help shelter animals that need immediate medical attention.  We have no vet on staff, and do not have the funds to take care of emergency cases.  Charlie's Fund helps pay for those animals in need.  Spay & Neuter Fund helps low income families pay to get their pets fixed. Contact the humane society for additional info.

Some people donate based on their income, especially those that earn commission. They give what is called a “Perpetual Donation”, where they give a certain percentage of their earnings each month. Others prefer to commit to a yearly donation but choose when and how much of that to pay at a time. Still, others choose to have an exact amount paid each month. Contact a board member or call the Adoption Center for more information.
