Clean towels help care for shelter pets every single day.
From cozy bedding to cleanup after medical care, towels are one of the most used supplies in our clinic and shelter spaces. If you have gently used towels you no longer need, we’d love to give them a second life helping animals in our care.
Donations can be dropped off at either Berkeley Humane Thrift Shop location.
