Happy Father's Day!

DHA will celebrate 56th Birthday by breaking ground on new shelter
In September 2010, DHA initiated a capital campaign to raise funds for a new shelter to replace the current 40 year old facility. After a long wait, we are ready to move to the next exciting step! On June 25th, as DHA celebrates its 56th birthday, we will break ground on The Tatiana and Gerret Copeland Animal Care & Companion Center.

CAN you help us keep their bowls full (with canned food)?
Giving the animals in our shelter the best care possible is a priority at DHA. Keeping enough canned cat food on hand to supplement dry food can be a challenge when working with a limited budget. So, we are reaching out for your help keeping our shelves stocked.

Happy Mother's Day!
Today is a time to celebrate the love of mothers everywhere, and we wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day, but we're also reminded that not everybody has one. YOU can be a mother to the kittens and puppies who come to DHA and help them get the love and care they need by making a donation, or joining our foster care program!
