Caring for our animals requires a lot of time, love, money, and supplies. Listed below is ODR’s “Wish List” of needed supplies. Or, if you prefer, we have an Amazon Wish List as well.
Donating wish list items helps us with the day-to-day care of our animals and supports our operational needs. We know some of the items are not very glamorous, but every item we get donated is that much more money we have to spend on our great dogs to get them the care they so desperately need.
You can contact us at ottawadogrescue@gmail.com to arrange for drop-off or pick-up.
Of course monetary donations are always appreciated and 100% of all funds raised go directly to the care of our dogs in foster care. Cash donations help us with veterinary bills, grooming, and buying specialty items when needed. For example, a $150-$200 donation can spay/neuter a dog, $125 gets one dog a basic medical exam, heartworm testing, and basic vaccines. Donations can be sent by e-transfer, through PayPal or by clicking on the easy to use Donate tab at the top of this page.
