How to Donate

Your donations are what make this effort work.  With them, our ongoing mission and programs can continue to grow to help more senior dogs and support more senior people.  Not all donations are workable though.

Please be sure to take the time to read our guidelines below and follow the procedures to help us keep the process manageable.

Thank you for your support!

When Donating, ask yourself:

  1. Would I buy this in its current condition?
  2. Does this item still have plenty of life left in it for someone else?
  3. Is it free from stains and tears and is it safe?
  4. Does this item smell clean (free from pet urine, moth balls or smoke odors)?
  5. Is the item fully functional, not broken and includes all pieces it came with?
  6. Did I check it against POMDR's list of items they don’t accept (below)?

If you answered “Yes” to all the questions above, we’d love to have your donation!
