A Paws-itively Huge Thank You to Glacier Bank and Our Community!

Here at the shelter, our daily mission of caring for animals is a team effort, and that team extends far beyond our own walls. This week, we experienced a beautiful reminder of just how big and generous our community truly is.

We are thrilled to announce that we have officially received the donations from the Glacier Bank "Puppies & Pals Supply Drive"—and the results are absolutely incredible!

The Power of Community Support

When our local community steps up, the lives of our shelter animals are immediately changed for the better. The sheer volume of food, engaging toys, and essential cleaning supplies dropped off during this drive exceeded our wildest expectations.

To every single person in the community who took the time to purchase an item and drop it into a donation bin: Thank you. Your selflessness directly translates into full bellies, comfortable nights, and happy tails for animals waiting to find their forever homes.

A Special Shoutout to Glacier Bank

We want to extend a massive, heartfelt thank you to the management and employees at Glacier Bank. Organizing a supply drive takes time, coordination, and a genuine passion for animal welfare.

To the Glacier Bank team: thank you for championing this cause, setting up the collection points, and rallying the community together. Your hard work behind the scenes has made a massive difference for our shelter, allowing us to stretch our resources further and help even more animals in need.

How These Supplies Help

It takes a lot of resources to keep our shelter running smoothly every single day. The items received from the Puppies & Pals Supply Drive will go to use immediately to:

  • Keep Pets Healthy: High-quality food and treats keep our dogs and cats nourished and energized.

  • Provide Comfort: Blankets and beds give our animals a soft, warm place to rest, reducing stress in a shelter environment.

  • Enrich Their Days: Toys are vital for mental stimulation and play, helping our pets show off their true personalities to potential adopters.

  • Maintain a Safe Environment: Essential cleaning supplies ensure our kennels and common areas stay sparkling clean and disease-free.

We are so lucky to be part of a community that cares so deeply about its animals. If you missed the Glacier Bank drive but still want to help, there are always ways to get involved!

Once again, from the bottom of our hearts (and on behalf of all the wagging tails and rumbling purrs), thank you, Glacier Bank, and thank you to our wonderful community!

What a week! Thank you for a fantastic adoption event!

We are absolutely thrilled by the amazing turnout at our adoption event last week!

“July 21st - July 25th at Mission Valley Animal Shelter”

Because of this incredible community, quite a few of our wonderful cats and dogs have officially found their forever homes. There is nothing that makes us happier than seeing our shelter pets walk out the front door with their new families, ready to start the next chapter of their lives.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this possible :

Our Adopters : Thank you for choosing to adopt and for opening your hearts and homes to our fur babies.

Our Community : Thank you for sharing our posts, spreading the word, and showing up to support our mission.

Our Team : Thank you to the staff and who worked so hard to ensure every Meet N Greet went smoothly.

If you missed the event, don’t worry! We still have plenty of sweet faces waiting patiently for a second chance. You can always check our website @ missionvalleyanimalshelter.org to see our available pets, or stop by during business hours to meet them in person.

Snowball Fundraiser

Help Snowball Heal After Being Diagnosed With Cancer

She is an incredibly sweet female Flame Point Siamese who recently came into our lives. She was surrendered to our team during a community vaccine clinic day, suffering from significant injuries to her ears & body. Thanks to a safe environment & dedicated care, her wounds began to heal, & her bright spirit started to shine through.

However, during a recent veterinary evaluation, we received devastating news : she has been diagnosed with cancer. To save her life & stop the spread, our vet team has determined she urgently needs surgery to have her ears removed.

She has already endured so much, & we are committed to seeing her through this incredibly difficult chapter. But we need your support to make it happen.

Why Our Medical Fund Matters

Contributions to our Medical Fund are strictly designated for :

  • Emergency surgeries & life-saving procedures (like the surgery Snowball underwent)

  • Specialized medications, diagnostics, & cancer treatments

  • Critical care for multiple animals currently recovering in our shelter

    How You Can Make A Difference

    We cannot do this without the steadfast support of our community. If you are able, please consider making a financial contribution to the Medical Fund today! Absolutely no amount is too small - every donation directly impacts the lives of the animals trusting us for a second chance.

    If you are unable to donate financially at this time, sharing our mission & this page with your network helps us amplify our reach. Your voice is a powerful tool for these animals!
