How you can help AHS by donating or volunteering

AHS is in need of foster homes with no other dogs.
Some of our dogs need to live in homes where they are the only dog. If you would like to help us help dogs in need by being a foster home, please email us at info@alternativehumanesociety.org or call us at 671-7445.

You can help touch the lives of rescued homeless animals in our care awaiting adoption. Every dollar makes a difference. We are an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization. We depend upon private donations, as we receive no local, state or federal financial support. The Alternative Humane Society appreciates your generosity and all donations made are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your donation will be acknowledged.

AHS does not share your personal information. Your privacy and the security of your donation is important and protected.

Your donation allows us to help more people pay to spay and neuter their cats and dogs, provide more community education about the care of cats and dogs, and continue to rescue and place homeless dogs.

Your donation will provide these and many other services for animals in need:
$30	One cat neuter voucher, or one bag of foster dog food, or one bed for a foster dog
$45	One dog neuter voucher, or one cat spay voucher, or one foster dog vet visit
$60	One dog spay voucher, or two bags of foster dog food, or one 5-pack of Advantage flea treatment
$100	One vet visit & shots for three puppies, or spay one 50-96 pound foster dog, or neuter two small foster dogs
$250	Spay two large foster dogs, or 1/2 year of care for one healthy foster dog
$500	Vet care for a litter of puppies with Parvo, or one year of care for one healthy foster dog
$1000	Vet care for one abused or injured dog taken into our foster program
We welcome your donation of any amount you are able to give!

Donation Canisters Needed

We need plastic containers to make into donation canisters. The kind we need are hard plastic "Costco" type containers with a screw on wide mouth lid. Square containers are best, but round are ok too. About 4 inches across is an ideal size. Clean, dry containers can be dropped off at Ruff Day Doggie Daycare, 2123 Lincoln Street in Bellingham.

The Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom County is ALL volunteer. We have no office, no shelter and no paid staff.
