Donate to Five Acres
There are many ways to support the animals at Five Acres Animal Shelter.
Five Acres Animal Shelter runs entirely on donations, and our mission is not possible without your support. Every dollar and every donation goes directly to the care of the cats and dogs at Five Acres.
Ways to Give
Make a Gift to Five Acres
Five Acres relies entirely on donations from our community. Every single dollar provides care for an animal in need and gives them the second chance they need and deserve.

Employee Match
Matching gifts from your employer are a great way to double your donation to Five Acres! Talk with your employer to see if they have a matching program.
Sponsor a Fundraiser
You can help by becoming a sponsor of one of our annual fundraisers. This is a great way to help meet the needs of the shelter and show the community you are a supporter of animal rescue!
Tribute Donations
Interested in making a donation in honor of someone special (human or animal)? Making a gift is a great way to honor a fellow animal-lover! Five Acres will send a card to the honoree informing them of your gift. Please be sure to include the name of whom you would like your donation made in honor of and where to send the acknowledgement card.
In Memoriam
Interested in making a donation in memory of someone special (human or animal)? Five Acres will send a card to the family informing them of your gift. Please be sure to include the name of whom you would like your donation made in memory of and where to send the acknowledgement card.
Shadow’s Fund
Want to help animals who have needs that go beyond what is typical? Make a donation specified to Shadow’s Fund, our special needs program. This program supports cats and dogs that require extensive veterinary care. Without Shadow’s Fund, we would not be able to save certain dogs and cats because, as a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of kind people who support our mission to end pet homelessness.
AniMeals Food Pantry Support
Every month the AniMeals Food Pantry provides over 3,000 pounds of pet food and supplies to families in need. In order to expand our reach into the community, AniMeals is now partnering with “Whiskers on Wheels” to provide pet food to home-bound residents in need of support. Your gift helps a family in need and keeps pets where they belong: in their loving homes.
Planned Giving
Planned giving can allow you to donate more and make a difference that has a significant and lasting impact on the lives of animals. If you already have a will or trust, you should be able to add an amendment that fulfills your charitable wishes. There are additional tax benefits to these gifts and we recommend you discuss them with your legal advisor.
