Our Wishlist

HappyPaws can always use supplies and volunteers. Can you help?

• Volunteers are needed in the late morning to change food and water at our kennel in Arlington
• We also have other volunteer positions open - basic trainers, help with fundraising, transporters, dog walkers, maintenance, painting.  In fact, we probably have a need for anything you like to do!  Note that you do need to come to Arlington to volunteer.
• Gift cards to pet stores, Costco, Wal-Mart, supermarkets, gas stations, etc.
• Dry dog food without any colored pieces in it, particularly Purina 1 but we will take any brand
• Dog heating pads or heated beds
• Items for our auctions which we hold twice a year. It can be anything new or like-new, even a donated service would be great
• Postage stamps
• Help with the heating bill for the dog and cat barns
• Wet dog and cat food (Purina 1 preferred since it is used to mix medications in)
• Dog and cat toys (not in the shape of other animals or people.)
• Dog biscuits - large - not colored
• Volunteers in the construction industry.  A regular handyman would be nice too.
• Volunteers to help with grant writing and fundraising
• Gravel and someone to spread it
• Other laborer type tasks
• Paper towels & antibiotic wipes
• People to cut grass in the summer
• People to staff donation tables outside of supermarkets to bring in donations for our animal food bank
• Garbage bags
• Volunteers willing to pick up dog food from various locations around Arlington
• Funds (donations) to pay for veterinary bills, medicines, heat in the barns, insurance against dog bites and property taxes (due to the generosity of a very dear lady, deceased, we own the land our shelter is on)
