Mercer County Animal Shelter is in desperate need of hard and soft dog food and soft cat food. All donations are appreciated.
The shelter is bursting at the seams with dogs. We need foster homes. Here are some benefits of having dogs in a foster home:
Saving a dog’s life and helping local shelters.
Preparing a dog for their forever home and increasing their chances of getting adopted.
Seeing a dog’s true personality and watching them grow and blossom.
Learning a lot about yourself and the dogs from fostering.
Enjoying the joy and pleasure of helping a pet in need.
Connecting with your community and other foster parents.
Offering a temporary companion for your own pets.
