Items we are not currently accepting:
- Pillows
- Linens including sheets, towels, and blankets
- Small animal equipment or enclosures
- Used litter boxes
- Wire crates
- Cat/dog beds
- Syringes
Thank you for thinking of us! We hope you will consider bringing these items to your local donation center.
