This Valentine’s Day, Tails of Hope will be Spreading the Love! for our upcoming Shelter Run, March 24-25. We’ll be taking a cargo van full of food and supplies down to WV, to help shelter animals and community pets alike.

​

Our primary focus this time around will be Webster County, WV, where the need is great. The shelter staff works miracles with the limited resources they have, but they need our help.  We’ll also be making a stop to visit our wonderful friends at the Tucker County, WV shelter, to take cat food and supplies.

​

To help the pets in the community, which has been ravaged by the effects of flooding and unemployment in the coal mining industry, we’re also putting together pet care packages (also listed below), each of which will include a bag of food, treats, and a toy.  One of the volunteers in the county has been going door-to-door to people with pets to offer low cost or free spay and neuter services, and she’ll be taking a care package to the folks she visits.  We firmly believe that, to improve the lives of companion animals in a community, you have to get the people of that community on board too, and this is our way of reaching out to them to let them know we are here to help!

​

We’ll be using your donations, below, to purchase the items from the shelter's wishlist (you are not actually purchasing the items—we’ll take care of that--so don’t worry, they will not ship to you).  If you are able to help us Spread the Love! we’d be most grateful, as would the animals who will benefit from your kindness.

​

We’ll add a candy heart to the jar for each donation received (please see list of our fabulous donors, below) . Check back often to see the jar fill up with blessings for these precious animals!  As always, thank you for your generous and continued support—we absolutely could NOT do this without YOU!
