join us as a monthly sponsor!

 For as little as $5 a month, you can help us meet the needs of the 120+ animals that call River's Wish home. Your support helps us continue our mission to provide care and permanent sanctuary to neglected, abused, homeless and older animals in need, as well as to promote kindness and compassionate lifestyle choices through humane education. 

Many of our residents are elderly and require special feed, medicine or ongoing veterinary support. Being able to count on monthly commitments helps us plan for their care. Thank you for considering joining us!
