While they are at our shelter we provide care for the animals during their stay including medical care that can be quite expensive. Emergency medical care can cost as much as $1,200 per animal when needed. We need your support to help the animals coming in to our shelter receive important and often life saving medical care.

Securities Donation Donating stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities contributes to the financial stability of Danbury Animal Welfare Society and can offer a significant tax saving for you. By giving stock, you can avoid capital gains tax on the increased value of the stock plus receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock rather than liquidating the stocks and donating the cash proceeds. A gift of appreciated mutual funds works in the same way. Contact your broker and giving@daws.org for more information. Estate Planning/Wills One of the easiest ways to donate is to include a bequest to Danbury Animal Welfare Society in your will. Depending on the current exemption amount and your assets, giving a bequest to us may also decrease any estate taxes that would be due from your estate. Sponsorship and/or attending events Get involved in one of the several events we host every year. Attending and raising money is one way to help or connecting us with corporate sponsors is another was to give. Please read our blog for information on upcoming events.
