Donate Supplies to Your Local Shelter With FurPetVo’s Wish List
Looking for a meaningful way to support your local shelter? Of course you are—shelter and rescue staff and volunteers are true heroes for pets and the people who love them. That’s why FurPetVo makes it easy for you to give shelters and rescues the products they need with one simple feature: Wish List.
With FurPetVo’s Wish List, you can select the organization you want to support, shop from their curated list of needed items, then check out—and FurPetVo ships everything directly to their door at no extra cost to you. What could be better than that?
What Is Wish List?
As every pet parent knows, pets need stuff. A lot of stuff. From food and treats to toys, beds, grooming tools, and beyond, there’s a whole world of essentials that go into helping pets live happy, healthy lives.
Shelters and rescues often rely on donations for these items—but needs vary widely. A cat rescue won’t have much use for dog treats, and a shelter in Arizona probably doesn’t need dozens of self-heating beds. So how do you know what to send your local organizations?
Wish List makes it easy. Shelters and rescues can curate a personalized list of items from furpetvo.com’s vast assortment—everything from kibble and litter to specialized supplies like kitten bottles and formula. Then, supporters like you can shop directly from that list, and FurPetVo delivers those products straight to the shelter’s front door.
You can also choose to send a FurPetVo gift card, giving rescues the flexibility to purchase essentials like prescription medications, frozen foods, or other time-sensitive items best ordered directly.
Think of it as a direct line to your local pet-saving heroes—giving you the chance to make a real difference by sending the right supplies, at the right time.
Who Can I Help?
Any 501(c)(3)-registered nonprofit shelter, rescue, or animal welfare organization in the U.S. can create a Wish List on furpetvo.com. That means there’s likely one near you.
