About the Program

28 Years of Hope & Giving

January 31, 1997 is the first recorded entry to the HSS Donation Canister Program, raising $4,377.33 for the animals that first year. Currently, eight Volunteers manage Shelter Donation Canisters in 78 businesses in Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek, including one in Cottonwood.

Your Spare Change Can Save Lives

Around 75% of our income is from private donations, grants, or thrift store sells. The Shelter is a stand-alone non-profit—meaning we do not receive funding from national or international ASPCs, humane societies, or other large animal welfare organizations. Medical costs continue to rise and the abandoned animal crisis continues to rise, too, so every dollar counts. Local community members provide the life-line, literally, that helps us to save hundreds of homeless pets each year.

Sedona and VOC residents have helped local abandoned animals for 28 years, raising over $190,000 by dropping their loose change and bills into the familiar acrylic box, usually located near a checkout counter. This past year, nearly $10,000 was collected by 77 community businesses. That’s enough to pay for nearly 100 spay or neuters, helping pets to live healthier, longer lives, and helping to battle pet overpopulation.

Join the Ka-Ching!

 Let’s face it, who doesn’t like the sound of coins dropping into a bank? With your simple gift you join hundreds of other residents, just like you, who love, cherish, and want to protect the homeless companion pets in our communities. By the way, we like the swish of a dollar bill going into the Donation Canisters, too!
