If you have specific medical supplies to donate, please call first so that we can ask the veterinary technician what may be needed for the clinic.

If you have something that is not on this list, and are interested in helping the animals directly with any of these supplies, please give us a call and we can let you know if we might be able to put it to good use.  Feel free to call the animal information line at (757) 595-1900 ext 273 for more information.
