We have the chance to have up to $34,000 donated to SAINTS through a devoted animal lover. She is fully committed to our work and will match every dollar, up to $17,000. Our campaign runs until October 31st. We cannot thank this person enough for approaching us with this beautiful gift. Our saintly residents, if they could speak, would thank her for caring for their well being.

Senior Animals In Need Today Society hasn't added a story.
The saintly residents of our shelter found out they have a guardian angel who is going to match, dollar for dollar, all donations up to $17,000. What this means for the saintly crew is that veterinarian bills will be paid, their food will be there for them, repairs and updates of our little shelter can be scheduled and completed, cleaning supplies will be purchased, we will be able to fill our van with gas... the list is long. It takes a lot to look after the almost 100 animals in our shelter.
At this time we would have normally had our Wishes 4 Whiskers live event. Unfortunately it was not fully confirmed until April of this year that most covid restrictions would be removed. Our small fundraising team felt that we did not have enough time to organize a great live event. This year we will still have a Wishes 4 Whiskers. We have created a digital Wish List for our guys. It gives the dollar equivalent of what each one of our supporters donations does for our residents.. Just click anyone of the wishes to the side of this page and choose a wish for our saintly crew.

As everyone can imagine a shelter with older dogs (or incontinent dogs) goes through an awful lot of dog beds. The kuranda style dog bed keeps the bed up off the floor and therefore lessens the workload on our staff. It makes it much easier for them to keep the floor clean. There are many sizes and different companies that produce these beds and the price can run from $40 to $270 so the $100 is an average. (Also did you know the kuranda company sells replacement covers at about $30)
SAINTS water is provided by well water. That means the well needs to cover the washing of the shelter, supply water to our residents, and even bathing them all with well water. It isn't unusual for our well to dry up and then we are forced to have water trucked in... and added expense. We would very much like to purchase rain barrels to conserve water for when the well dries up (and yes it also great for conservation)
A huge percentage of our dogs and cats come in with dental issues. That costs is $1000 - $1500 per animal. The picture is of Skittles who, at 13 years of age, he came in with a need for dental work. He is typical of the many small dogs we entered SAINTS over the years. (PS after receiving a dental Skittles was lucky enough to find his very own home)
