Urgent Needs

We try to spend our limited resources to directly benefit the animals, but that doesn’t leave much to spend on the things we need to keep our shelter running. Anything our supporters can help us with is greatly appreciated!

    Sheets, used litter boxes, used litter scoops, outdoor dog kennels, rabbit hutches, dog houses, criss-crossed shredded paper, pet food not in the original container, and empty color printer cartridges.

    Thank you for your understanding, and if you'd like to donate, the following are items we are in urgent need of:

    * Cupcake Cups

    * Rat Food

PAWS
The Pet Adoption Without Surrender program (PAWS) is a tool created to assist pet owners in finding a new home for their pet without surrendering the animal to the shelter. This program allows for the pet to remain in the home. MVHS advertises the animal online and at the shelter, so the owner can facilitate adoption. Click here for more information!
