Donate
Since Buddy receives no funding from local, state or federal government, we depend on our much-appreciated and beloved donors and supporters to help us operate. Additionally, we are all volunteers and no paid staff. So especially in these hard economic times, please donate from your heart and help us save those that cannot save themselves.

Do you wonder how your charity donation is used—and how far it will go? On average, a $50 donation can provide food for one dog or 2 cats for 2 weeks. Your generosity makes a huge difference in the life of a previously starved or abused animal and insures that we are able to carry out our mission. Please donate today and help us keep lighting the way home.
With your donation of $30 or more you receive a membership in The Buddy Foundation, including our newsletter, special invitations to members-only events, and discounts at The Buddy Boutique and on adoptions. Your donation brings us one step closer to our goal: No More Homeless Pets.

Guardian Angel Tribute Program
Would you like to honor a special person or pet who may have touched your life in a way you never thought possible? Why not pay tribute to that person or pet by making a donation to The Buddy Foundation in their name.
An Angel is someone who has helped you with your pets: a pet sitter, vet, family member or friend.
An Angel is someone who has helped you in an aspect of your life: a teacher, doctor, religious leader, neighbor, spouse or parent.
An Angel can be a pet, living or deceased. The best way to honor our pets is to help other animals find homes that are as caring as yours has been.
It’s Easy! Notify us of your Guardian Angel selection. You receive confirmation and a tax donation receipt and they get a special letter notifying them that they are the recipient of this honor. Your Guardian Angel will be invited to the shelter to have their photo taken with our President while receiving a Guardian Angel pin and award. If they are unable to visit, their pin and certificate will be sent to them by mail.
When you notify Buddy as to your Guardian Angel, please select either a cat, dog or angel pin. If your pet is the Angel, you may choose to wear the pin yourself because animals rarely appreciate adornments.
