We are incredibly grateful for every donation we receive to help animals in need, but we have a couple of very important requests…
❌❌❌ Please NEVER leave donations on the doorstep of Enchanted Pets. Our shop is located on the main street, and donations left outside are at risk of being damaged, stolen, or becoming a hazard.
Today, while we were closed, one of our volunteers just happened to be driving past and, completely by chance, noticed donations sitting on our front step. She quickly messaged us, and as we were only 10 minutes away on our way away for the night, we had to turn around and return to the shop to bring them inside. Had she not driven past when she did, those donations would have been left outside until Tuesday.
We truly appreciate every single donation and the kindness behind them, but our front door is not a dumping zone. If we’re closed, please keep your donations and bring them back during our opening hours.
While we’re at it, we’d also like to remind everyone that all donated items should be washed, cleaned and disinfected before being donated. Our volunteers are already stretched incredibly thin caring for the animals, and unfortunately we simply don’t have the time to wash, scrub and clean donations before we can use them. Receiving donations clean and ready to go means they can help the animals straight away.
We know everyone means well, and we genuinely appreciate every donation. A little extra consideration goes a long way in helping our small volunteer team continue doing what we do best—caring for the animals. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support. 💙
