What Your Donation Covers
Veterinary & Medical Care
Covers exams, vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, and emergency treatment so dogs leave the shelter healthy and ready for their forever homes.
Safe Transportation
Funds the transport that moves dogs from Smith County Animal Shelter to fosters, rescue partners, and adoptive homes — often the step that saves a life.
Daily Care & Supplies
Provides food, bedding, leashes, collars, and basic supplies that keep dogs comfortable while they wait for their second chance.
Rehabilitation & Foster Support
Helps dogs that need extra time, medical recovery, or behavioral support get the care they need through our network of dedicated fosters.
Because we fundraise through Zeffy, 100% of your donation goes straight to the dogs. No platform fees.
