Ways to give to the animals at Action For Animals

We care for about 150 animals every day of the year with no government funding, and it takes at least $2,500 a day. Every gift is tax-deductible and goes straight to their food, shelter and medical care.

Every way to give

Pet Food Star

Your name, your pet's name, your business or a dedication in honor or memory of someone is featured on our Facebook page for the day. Choose your date and a backup, or let us pick. Giving it as a gift? We mail the recipient a postcard.

AngelsThe Angels Program

$10 a month and up

Help cover the vaccinations, deworming, grooming, food and medicine every animal needs. Choose monthly, quarterly or yearly. Each month you get the Angels newsletter with a shelter story and a photo of your foster pet. Angels subscriptions make wonderful gifts.

Living LegacyPlanned giving

A planned gift (a will, life insurance, retirement beneficiary forms or a charitable trust) keeps your love for animals working for years. Through the Save a Life Society, a planned gift of $5,000 or more per pet means we will care for your dog or cat after you're gone, until a loving home is found.

Every online gift goes through Bloomerang, exactly as it does today. In this preview the buttons open the current afashelter.org forms; at launch they become your own Bloomerang forms right on the page.

School groups can collect change or supplies, a business can sponsor an event, or you can ask party guests to bring a gift for AFA instead of for you. Pennsylvania law requires written permission from a charity before anyone raises money for it, so please email board@afashelter.org first and we'll gladly work with you.
