Second Chances program: help injured/sick cats and dogs
Second chances are what we’ll provide injured/sick cats and dogs with your monthly gift designated to advanced medical care. Funds are used for animals who require medical care beyond the capabilities of the Burlington County Animal Shelter. Medical expenses are the Friends BCAS’ largest spending category every year. The shelter may take in a dog that is heartworm positive or a cat with a broken leg. Many animals end up at the shelter because their owners cannot afford medical care. Lil’ Bear the dog got his second chance, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
Your support can ensure we’ll always have funds available for injured/sick cats and dogs. If you believe in second chances, make a monthly gift for advanced medical care.
Donation Matching
Many corporations have matching donation programs. Check with your human resources department to see if your company has such a program and how to enroll.
