A NEW BUILDING
Our eyes are on the future
CDHS is taking the next step in rescuing pets and serving people. As we approach our 65th anniversary, our board of directors has authorized our most ambitious undertaking yet - launching a $4.5 million capital campaign to fund major enhancements to our facility.
We have already raised half of our goal ($2.25 million) and are asking our community to help us raise the remaining $2.25 million. Any amount gets us closer to the goal and is so appreciated.
GOALS FOR THE PROJECT
- Increased capacity for rescued dogs and cats
- Improved safety for public viewing of dogs
- Reduced animal stress
- Increased adoptions
- Reduced noise levels
- Building community engagement
- Providing more volunteer opportunities
BE A BELIEVER!

Our future will be built with gifts from generous people like you who understand and want to support the needs of stray, abandoned, and neglected pets.
