"It costs $21,000 a month to run the shelter. Typically, our revenue comes from bequests, grants and donations but these have fallen off in these tough economic times. Hopefully, the Thrift Shop will contribute a steady stream of income that will support our ever-increasing expenses," explained Tom Leigh, President of the Board of the Ark. "We hope people like what we have to offer and will support our efforts to continue to provide quality care for abandoned or surrendered pets until they find a suitable forever home."
Thrift Shop Gift Certificates Available – from $5 up.
