Make Your Pet A Star!

Special Pals has a new van on the road! We use this vehicle to aid with medical appointments, transfers and most important all the adoption events happening in our community! All funds raised help save lives.

We want to wrap the van and give you the chance to make your pet or pets a star! It’s super easy – The FIRST 6 people to donate $500 to help support the animals in our care will get a guaranteed spot on the van to feature their pet! Anyone who makes a donation of $46 or more will be entered to win the 4 remaining spots!

That's right! You can simply make a donation using the Donate button and you may WIN a spot!

Want to fundraise? Send emails to your friends though our easy to manage system and get them involved in making your Pet A Star and supporting Special Pals! Our goal is to find loving homes for over 1500 animals this year and your support will help make this happen! To adopt even more animals, we are committed to be out in the community and host many adoption events. This campaign is not only for fun but will help with the costs for our adoption programs. Every donation is saving a life as every adoption makes room for one more homeless animal to be saved.

At Special Pals, our commitment goes beyond just caring for animals. We’re dedicated to making lives better – for our furry friends and the wonderful people who bring them into their homes. Whether you’re looking for animal adoption, pet wellness, or assistance with animal-related concerns, we’re here for you.
