Donation Options

The Humane Society of Parkersburg is a not-for-profit organization that relies heavily upon donations to provide a high level of care for the animals in our care as well as to support animal welfare efforts in our community.

Donations can take many forms but most common are monetary donations, supplies and services.

Monetary Gifts
A very easy way to benefit from a charitable deduction and support the HSOP is through a cash gift. Monetary gifts can also be made in the form of memorial and honorarium gifts to celebrate those special people, pets or events in our lives.

You can may make an on-line monetary donation right now using Donate On-line.

If you want to make a monetary donation via mail, use our Donate by Mail form.

While you can specify what you want your donation to support, commonly uses of such donations are:

  • Supporting our spay/neuter assistance program
  • Special needs program - for animals with medical problems that are treatable and we believe highly adoptable
  • Medical supplies
  • General funds for shelter operations

However, you can specify your donations to go wherever you desire. Just let us know when you make your donation.

Supplies
See our Wish List for ideas of supplies we need. Normally we ask that you deliver donations directly to the shelter during normal business hours. As much as we appreciate the donation, we just don't have the resources to pick donations up. Also, if you are donating a large quantity of something that will require assistance to unload or will take up a large amount of storage space, we would appreciate it if you would please call us in advance to notify us of your generous donation so we can make sure to be ready for your delivery.

Services
We always need all sorts of services but commonly we need help with:

  • Computer support
  • Lawn and grounds care
  • Construction and facility maintenance services
  • Transportation

Please contact Michelle Rudd, Executive Director (304-422-5541 Ext. 110) regarding donations of services.

Acknowledgement of Donations
All donations are acknowledged in our quarterly newsletter. Also, donations made in honor or memory of a person or pet will also be acknowledged by letter to both the honoree (or their family) and to the donor. To ensure we make those acknowledgements promptly, please be sure to let us know if your donation is being made in honor of someone else so we can collect the necessary information.

Remember, all donations are tax deductible!
We can provide you with a receipt for your donation for tax purposes at your request.
