Most Needed Donations:
Monetary Donations directly to our Medical Fund: The Bloomington Animal Shelter often encounters animals in need of urgent medical attention, with many cases being critical and life-saving. Without adequate funding, our capacity to provide treatment may be limited.
Donations to our Medical Fund can be made over-the-phone, in-person or mailed to the shelter.
If sending a check, please make the check payable to BACC.
The Animal Basic Care Fund, or ABC Fund, was established by a generous bequest from Jodi Hollowitz. Jodi called Bloomington her home and had a passion for animal welfare, and established this permanent endowment in her estate plan so all animals could receive the care they deserve. The Animal Basic Care Fund is a designated endowment of the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County that benefits the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter.
