Member or not there are a wide variety of rewarding opportunities available should you choose to become involved in our many initiatives to help animals.Our annual operating budget is approximately $50,000 per year with needs and costs continuously rising.With the enormous commitment of building the new shelter we need more financial assistance than ever.Over the past 12 years the Brix Challenge has raised $236,657.00 because of generous friends such as you.That’s amazing.
