Compassion shows up in powerful ways every day at DCHS: a volunteer gently coaxing a shy cat out of hiding, a wildlife rehabilitator healing an injured animal, or an adopter falling in love with a pup who’s been waiting too long for a second chance.

Give by July 15th, 2026, and DOUBLE your impact for companion and wild animals in need thanks to a generous $50,000 matching gift from an anonymous donor. This gift is in loving honor and memory of the cats who gave our anonymous donor's family joy and love over many years: Buttons, Ally, Tammy, Blackberry & Cuddles.  

Every donation furthers our vision of empowering communities to thrive through fostering empathy, care, and mutual respect for both people and animals. With your ongoing support, we will continue to change lives for the better every day.

Thank you for walking alongside us in this work of helping people help animals. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to what we can continue to accomplish together.

We hope you enjoy our latest issue of Family Tails. Alongside our 2025 Annual Report, you’ll read stories of healing, hope, and the kind of resilience that inspires all of us to keep going. At the heart of it all is a simple truth: because of you, these animals received the care they needed and the futures they deserve.
