We need your continued support!
Our residents need your help so we can continue providing them with a safe haven.
Last winter, the extreme cold led to exorbitant heating bills. Additionally, several kennels recently underwent repairs in order to continue our compliance with State requirements. The income from our thrift stores typically supports a large portion of our agency’s operational costs. This summer, however, the income from those stores has decreased. In summary, our operating costs have increased while the income has decreased.
It costs about $4.75 per day to fulfill our promise to one animal in our care while they wait for their forever home. We typically provide that level of care for 200 dogs and cats daily at a total average monthly cost of $29,000.
Every donation at this critical time is helpful:
* $20 feeds an abandoned dog or cat for 10 days.
* $35 provides formula for a week for an abandoned litter of puppies or kittens.
* $50 helps control the pet population by spaying or neutering a homeless dog or cat.
* $100 provides basic medical care and shelter for a dog or cat for one week.
Thunder, a dog who came to BDAL in September 2007, is a great reminder of the time and devotion we provide to our animals. Thunder was adopted in April 2014 after meeting his new family at a BDAL awareness event. Sisters Xena and Athena arrived at BDAL when they were 2 months old. They were adopted into a loving home in July 2013 when they were almost 3 years old.
These three dogs are just a few examples of our organization’s commitment to providing the highest level of care and support to all our residents, regardless of the time required, with the hope they may eventually find the right home for them.
We invite you to join with us as we continue building on a dream which began in 2007. Your tax-deductible contribution now will help us continue providing care to these worthy animals. Our residents and organization certainly appreciate your generosity. Donations can be mailed to Better Days Animal League, PO Box 57, Shippensburg, PA 17257.
