Dear Friends,

You are amazing. So many of you have called and emailed, asking when you could drop-off donations at spcaLA. We'll start accepting in-kind donations on Monday, March 30th!

Melvin, a dog in spcaLA's care who will benefit from donations of food, as well as enrichment items like bully sticks and toys. Adoption available by appointment.

What we need:

• Most Urgently: Bully sticks, Earth Animal sticks, brand-new blankets & towels, durable dog & cat toys, canned dog & puppy food
• Also Needed: Kitten Replacement Milk (KMR) & bottles, canned and dry pet food (kitten/puppy/dog/cat), heating pads
• spcaLA cannot accept donations of opened food or treats, nor can we accept used blankets, towels, or toys at this time.

When and where to drop-off:

• 9am to 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, starting Monday, March 30th.
• spcaLA South Bay Pet Adoption Center (12910 Yukon Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250) OR spcaLA PD Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center (7700 E Spring St, Long Beach, CA 90815) during drop-off hours.

How to drop-off:

• Pull up to the donation drop-off pallet at South Bay or Long Beach (in front of the ADOPTIONS entrance at Long Beach).
• Unload your donations directly onto the donation drop-off pallet, then return to your vehicle, and go back to being Safer at Home.
• If there's another donor ahead of you, remain in your vehicle until they've completed their donation and safely returned to their vehicle.
• If you'd like a receipt: take a photo of your donation and send it to funddevelopment@spcaLA.com.

For your safety, and that of our staff and the animals in our care, please do not linger, or exit your vehicle for a purpose other than dropping off a donation. We love your pets, but please keep them safely at home.

Prefer to donate funds? Online donations are best, but you can also mail a check or money order to spcaLA 5026 W Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90016.
