SUPPORT THE SHELTER
The animals need you! BENCHS does not receive funding from cities, United Way, or national humane organizations. We are entirely funded through memberships, donations, estate bequests, and fund-raising events. Our expenses for veterinary care, food, and supplies continue to increase dramatically.

Donations needed...can you help?

Also check out our various lists on Amazon. 
​Here is a link to our urgent needs list.

Thank you to area organizations for giving to the animals at BENCHS.

In Memory of Mr. Tee...

In honor of her birthday, Monica's employer, Commerce Drive Dental, donated to BENCHS in memory of her family's dog Mr. Tee. Monica says, "Mr. Tee was 14 ½ years old and the most wonderful, mellow, best friend ever.  He kept us active and supported us through life’s turns with a snuggle. Thank you for all of your service to our furry family members."

Now it's our turn to say thank you to Commerce Drive Dental for their support of non-profit organizations. but also to Monica for selecting BENCHS to receive this donation.
