The Royal Oak Animal Shelter will continue to operate as long as funds are available. We accept donations from individuals and we partner with various groups and organizations to hold fundraising events.
Monetary
Monetary donations are always needed. Checks should be made out to ACORN - ANIMAL SHELTER to insure the donation is used for the Royal Oak Animal Shelter. If you would like to make a gift as an honorarium, please include the honoree's name and address in the memo section of the check. Acknowledgements will be sent to the honoree and a receipt will be mailed to the donor. Memorials are handled similarly, with the family of the memorialized person or pet receiving acknowledgment. We love to acknowledge birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other special events. All checks made payable to the Acorn Foundation are tax deductible for the donor, as the money serves a public purpose.
Checks may be:
- Mailed to City Treasurer: 211 Williams, Royal Oak, MI 48067
- Mailed to the Shelter: P.O. BOX 64, Royal Oak, MI 48067-0064
- Dropped off in person at the Shelter (1515 N. Edgeworth, Royal Oak)
We provide receipts for all donations. If you mail in a donation, the receipt will be mailed to you within 3 weeks. If you donate in person, a receipt will be filled out at that time. If you do not receive a receipt, please contact the shelter to let us know so that we may insure your donation is acknowledged. Thank you for your support.
Supplies
Supplies donated to the animal shelter are always appreciated. We suggest you call the shelter (248-246-3364) to verify which supplies are needed since needs may change on a daily basis.
The following are suggestions of some supplies which we may need:
- Kitty litter
- Canned cat food (ground/loaf varieties are appreciated by the cats)
- Canned dog food (Pedigree varieties)
- Bleach
- Examination gloves (size medium or large)
- Sanitizing wipes
Special thanks to Pet Supplies Plus for their ongoing partnership with us and for running the successful kitty litter promotion. Anyone can buy a bag of kitty litter for the shelter from Pet Supplies Plus at 29402 Woodward and they will hold it for us until we pick it up. We make regular trips for bulk buying. You don't have to lift it, but you can donate it - what could be easier? A big thanks to all of the people who donate through this option and remain anonymous. We love you all!!!
Thanks to all who generously donate goods to us - you really do make a difference!
