Please donate unopened and unexpired items whenever possible. Families may have had only minutes to evacuate.

Your donation can help keep a pet safe, fed and with the family who loves them. How you can help: Drop off donations at WSU Spokane County Extension Office, 222 N. Havana St., Spokane, WA 99202. Donation dates: August 5 through August 11. We will gather and deliver the most-needed supplies to SpokAnimal to support pets impacted by the wildfires.

Donations can be made through online orders at Chewy.com or Amazon.com and delivered to Spokane County 4-H, 222 N. Havana Street, Spokane, WA 99202.
