Making a donation to GRARE

Donations of supplies or money are always welcome at GRARE. There is a constant need to replenish light bulbs and heating elements, to build better enclosures for the animals, to purchase food and bedding. The following list provides you with an idea of the types of materials we need for continued operation.

Please note that because we deal with rehabilitators for all types of animals, we can accept donations of supplies for mammals, birds, and even fish. We will make sure that someone's need is filled by your generous donation.
