seatbelts;
dog harnesses,
gentle leaders or other training collars;
decorative animal clothing/booties;
cat collars/harnesses;

broken/dirty cages & crates;
chemicals/shampoos, etc.;
extra-large kitty litters w/tops;
extra packaging;
unidentifiable products/items;
food or chemical items that have been expired for more than a year.

Stuff that's always needed:
crates (in good shape),
canned dog and cat food,
leashes,
livestock rubber pails,
paper towels,
laundry detergent,
extra large garbage bags,
antibiotics (Amoxicillin & Cephalexin),
Rimadyl (pain medication),

*Ask personal veterinarians to ask their Frontline rep for donations

Karen also needs some smaller rectangular or square dog houses to put in the puppy kennels.

Volunteers are needed for all the clinics! Animal Ark/Akin clinics are open to all volunteers who would like to help. Please let Mary Salter at Animal Ark or Lindsay Cline at Akin Hills Pet Hospital know if you are able to come.

Thank you everyone for helping with the clinic!
