Doodle Dogs is a local pet company that offered to take our wish list off of Amazon and has worked hard to cultivate this list to ensure those supporting Parachutes For Pets can donate these much-needed items at a reduced cost to help their dollars go further.We are currently looking for dog food for all ages and breeds. These are an essential part of our dog hamper program. Your donations will help us to support fur babies in our community.

Donate Securities

A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don’t apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more. Learn how it works.
