Running an animal shelter and caring for more than 10,000 animals a year is expensive. The Capital Area Humane Society is always in need of the following items and is grateful for all the public support we receive. 

*CAHS feeds Science Diet Food only to our animals. Non-Science Diet brands donated to CAHS will be given to other Shelters, Rescues or Families in need.*

Thank you so much for your generous donations!
