Donate

Our critical work improves the lives of the animals and communities we work with would not be possible without your support. Learn more about ways to donate including planned giving, contributing to our food bank, donating supplies, and sponsoring an animal.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. With an active volunteer force many times the size of staff, volunteers make it possible for us to serve more than 60,000 animals each year, without ever turning a DC animal away. Learn more about volunteer opportunities.

Foster

Our robust and generous network of foster homes makes it possible for us to care for more animals with a broad range of specific care needs—from orphaned kittens who need round-the-clock feedings to cats and dogs for whom the shelter environment is too stressful and does not allow them to exhibit their true personalities. Learn more about fulfilling this critical component of our life-saving work.

Partnerships
