From Humane Society of Elmore County
As a non-profit organizations we are immensely grateful to all who donate money and supplies to help work as well as donate to our Tail’s End Thrift Store so that we can raise funds through their sales.
We have numerous ways for you to donate financially on our Shelter Website where you will find links to PayPal and our Network for Good entitled “Day in the Life of a Shelter Pet.” Both Paypal and the Network for Good platform give you the ability to donate just once or to set up recurring donations as you choose. The Network for Good platform also allows you to give us more instructions as to what the donation is for such as for a specific designation like sponsoring a pet, or for a memorial or honorary donation.
We are notified via email of all donations received via either platform and the donations are deposited directly into our shelter bank account. You can also donate on our Shelter Facebook page and Facebook donates 100% of any donated monies to us – they charge no fees. We are so grateful to so many people who have held birthday and other fund raisers on Facebook on our behalf!
And, of course, checks via snail mail, or in person visits, to 255 Central Plank Road, Wetumpka, AL 36092 still work just fine as does calling in to us at 334-567-3377 to do a donation via Credit Card over the phone.
Are you an Amazon Shopper perhaps? If you choose to shop via https://smile.amazon.com/ you can find our shelter (Humane Society of Elmore County) and we will receive a small percentage from your purchases, so you get to find your own best deals while supporting us at the same time. We also have supporters who ship always needed items to us like cleaning supplies (Fabuloso, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent), pet toys, pet food and more from Amazon, Walmart, Chewy and more, and just have it shipped directly to the shelter!
For our cat lovers who purchase cat litter on-line, two different companies have a program whereby your purchases help get us donated litter. Cat’s Pride Litter for Good program gets the shelter you designate (hopefully our shelter) one pound of cat litter for every jug of litter you purchase. Another company, Fresh Step, has the Fresh Step Paw Points Program.
When you sign up for the Fresh Step Paw Points Program AND when you pick our shelter, we get points from your purchases (and they have a lot more than cat litter). The best use of these points for our Shelter is when we amass enough to order a full pallet of cat litter and that goes a LONG way! So don’t like lugging cat litter from the store to your car to the house? Just shop on-line, have your litter delivered to your door and help our shelter at the same time.
Donations of clothing, household items, knick-knacks, art, furniture, collectibles, outdoor items and most anything that will re-sell is very much appreciated at our Tail’s End Thrift Store co-located across the parking lot from our Shelter. Our Thrift Store Volunteers received donations Thu, Fri & Sat 9 am – noon and they will provide tax-exempt donation receipts if needed. Of course we love all who shop at our Thrift Store since all proceeds go to our Shelter and the animals we care for. Treasures abound at our Thrift Store and it is open for shopping Thu, Fri & Sat 9 am – 3 pm.
With 267 pets currently in the Shelter, we greatly appreciate everyone’s support and promise to always do our very best to ensure bright futures for the animals that come into our care. Thank you to everyone for your support!
