毛巾
我们都把毛巾穿坏了. Some get fringy at the ends, some get dingy or discolored, and some get holes in them. 你猜怎么着? 动物们不在乎! Often, animals are brought in wet or cold. Sometimes, they just want something to lie on. 毛巾是万能的. 它们可以用作毯子, 用来烘干潮湿的动物, or be used to clean messes the animals make at the shelter. 

旧毯子
These can be used similar to the towels. They can be cut up to use in cages with smaller animals, or left whole for the larger animals. 他们都喜欢躺在上面的东西. People often throw these away, but shelters love them. 也可以查看一下庭院旧货销售. Often, people sell them very cheap.

食物
Dog food, cat food, or any other kind of animal food for the animals your shelter takes in. Sometimes, when the budget is stretched, food is needed badly. Consider using coupons or sales to get food at a discounted price to donate. Both unopened bags of dry and canned food can be used. Full bellies make animals happier in a scary situation.

对待
对待 are often on sale at stores, and can be purchased cheap. Both dogs and cats look forward to these treats whenever they can get them. 任何一种都很受欢迎. 生皮骨头也很受欢迎.

浴室地毯套装
厌倦了你的地毯套装? 准备好迎接新的挑战? Have old ones stored that you never use? 猫喜欢趴在它们身上. Rugs can be used for a kitty sized bed. They don't even care if they are stained or "dated".

玩具
If you were alone in a cage, wouldn't you want something to play with? Animal toys are often overlooked, and they wear out fast. Squeaky toys, stuffed animals and even balls are played with by our furry friends.

液体洗衣液
Those blankets, towels and things have to be washed. Liquid laundry detergent, if not donated, comes out of the shelter's budget.

梳理项目
Animals need to be bathed, brushed, and taken care of. Items to help groom them are not often donated. Sometimes, you can get these things from a dollar store cheap. Brushes, combs, shampoos, even animal nail clippers are useful items.

狗床
一个可以躺下放松的柔软的地方. 舒适很重要. Contact ARC at 409-948-2485 for detailed information types of dog beds needed. 

皮带和项圈
ARC often uses them to walk animals, and they also often give them away with adoptions, so they are always in short supply. They aren't very expensive and all sizes are needed and used.

报纸
我们很多人都有报纸. 报纸s can line the bottoms of cages for puppies and kittens. It is something that takes little effort to collect, but makes a lot of difference. Imagine how often those papers need to be changed! 如果你每天都看报纸的话, why not set them aside in a box or something similar and take them every so often to ARC?
