**We unfortunately can not send out a thank you for donations under $100 so we can save that money for the animals under our care.  We will always send notification when you make a donation 'in honor of', 'in memory of', for birthday/memorial/wedding gifts no matter what the amount you donate.****

BUDDY- This poor 10 year old boy was dropped off at an animal control facility in southern Illinois and set to be euthanized.  We stepped in and rescued him.  When he arrived at our shelter we realized his jaw was broken, he was severely dehydrated and had not eaten in a week.  He still wagged his tail, gave us kisses and wanted to be held.  Our local veterinarian said Buddy needed to get to an oral surgeon immediately.  The jaw has been broken for quite a while now, he is in excruciating pain, needs all of his teeth pulled and the jaw fixed.  Even with Buddy being an older boy with a lot of problems with his mouth, he deserves better treatment in life than what he has gotten.  We could not give up on him like other people in his life have.  It is going to cost $2,000 to get Buddy's mouth & jaw fixed and we desperately need your help!  If we can all pull together for Buddy since so many other people have let him down, we can finally help Buddy feel loved for once in his life.  You can click on any 'Donate Now' button throughout the site to donate by credit card or you can mail a check to the shelter address and specify that Buddy is who the donation is for.

Animal House is non-profit, so we rely heavily on private donations for our animals. We greatly appreciate any donation no matter how big or small. Please see our Wish List page for specific items we are currently in need of.

We accept any of the following items listed below. We accept all types of animal items, but we try to keep our animals on the same types of food so they don't get sick from switching. We will accept other types as back up. 

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE DONATE NOW BUTTON BELOW TO SPONSOR A PET, BECOME AN AHS MEMBER OR MAKE A MONETARY DONATION

 

Memorial/Tribute

Honor the memory of a loved one or cherished pet while helping to save the lives of homeless pets. We'll show our appreciation by sending a personalized letter to whomever you designate letting them know you've made a truly special gift. 

BIRTHDAYS/WEDDING GIFTS:

Many people donate in lieu of flowers, wedding gifts, or birthday presents.  You can donate to Animal House Shelter, Inc for any of the above by clicking on any 'Donate Now' button throughout the website or by sending a check in the mail.  Just make a note as to who you would like to receive notification that a gift (donation) has been made in honor of their wedding/ birthday/anniversary/graduation or as a christmas present ect. and we will send them a note in the mail right away!  It is a great way to make everyone feel good and help the dogs and cats that truly need it at the same time!  Please call the shelter if you have any questions.
