Like many charities, Animals for Life is funded entirely through donations of money and gifts-in-kind from individuals and businesses in the community. Animals for Life is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and we do not receive any government funding. Please know that we rely on the generosity of individuals like you to help keep AFL programs going! Every animal rescued has a story and your donation enables us to provide happy endings for many of the homeless animals in our community. Won't you please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today?
The easiest way for you to help an animal in need is to make a safe, secure online donation through PayPal. Just click the Donate button below and you're on your way...
Or, if you prefer, you can stop by the shelter with your donation or send us a check in the mail. Donations of any amount are welcome and every penny makes a difference in the lives of homeless animals in our community! If you have any questions about making a donation, please contact the shelter at (203) 758-2934 and ask for Susan Lydem.

Here at Animals for Life, we try to make the shelter a "home away from home" for each of the animals in our care. For just pennies a day, you can help keep an animal warm, happy and well-fed! When you sponsor a space at the shelter, we will proudly display your name or the name of your company on the run door. At the end of your sponsorship, we will send you a little scrapbook with photos of all of the animals that you have helped. Please contact Susan Lydem via email at susan.lydem@animalsforlifect.org or call (203) 758-2934 to specify how you would like your sponsor sign to read. Please be sure to leave us your contact information and mailing address so that we can get your scrapbook to you! |
