We are a nonprofit organization and thus always looking for donations. Monetary donations help us in our extensive training classes. We train in first aid for pets, ropes course, swift water, large animal rescue, first aid, CPR, bloodborne pathogens, bird handling, and many more areas. These training classes help us when we respond to national and local disasters and of course the many heart wrenching hoarding cases. Besides training there are personal suppies and immunizations that our members must collect and undergo. As a group we are always looking for supplies either donated or to purchase. These supplies help us when we respond to local situations. We just responded recently to the Dishman-Mica fire and was able to set up a local shelter so that families could spend the night in the Red Cross shelter and not worry about their pets.
Suppies that we need donated are:
Horse trailer
Carriers
Slip leads
Halters
Office supplies
Dog and Cat Dishes
Litter boxes
Cleaning Supplies
Medical supplies
Bleach
Towels
Camping supplies
Etc., Etc., Etc.
Please feel free to contact us with any supplies that you believe we may be interested in heartofthewest@yahoo.com
