Parma Animal Shelter News

Parma Animal Shelter's
Sponsor A Cage Program
Did you know that you could sponsor a cage for a rescued dog or cat for a three-month period for only $35.00? This is a great way to help your local shelter care for the homeless, abandoned, abused or hungry animals in your community.
All funds will go into our operation budget which helps pay for food, supplies, medication and other health care needs. A sign with your name will hang on the cage that you are sponsoring for the time you have chosen. You will also receive a post card with a cat, kitten, puppy or dog that is currently residing at our shelter.
Please contact the shelter to inquire about an animal that may need this kind of support or you can download a sponsorship form now.
