**The Animal Center has an urgent need for dog and cat food.** Other donations needed include pet toys, leashes, dish soap, towels, blankets, and more. Please see complete Wish List attached. An ongoing Amazon Wish List can be found HERE.

Throughout the drive, the Animal Center will also have displays set up at each library location. Resources will be available on pet adoption, dog and cat care, heartworm prevention, and much more.

The Berkeley Animal Center relies on donations from the community to help care for animals awaiting adoptions.

“We couldn’t properly care for our shelter animals without the tremendous support we receive day-in and day-out from our community. Because the County’s population is rapidly growing, our local pet population is, too. This directly impacts our shelter, which continually faces overcrowding and the need for ongoing donations. Our citizens are the heartbeat of Berkeley Animal Center, and we are beyond thankful for their willingness to always provide.” -Heather McDowell, Berkeley Animal Center Director
