There's still time to donate and make the day of a shelter animal in need! We are always accepting donations of toys, treats, blankets, towels, and pet food to the shelter. Donations can be dropped off in person at the shelter, located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai, CA, any time during business hours Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm.
