As gas prices climb to as much as an extra dollar per gallon, every dollar we spend fueling our five vehicles is a dollar we cannot put toward providing key services for pet families in Contra Costa County. The global rise in fuel costs now adds between $165 and $453 extra per month each time we fill up our vehicles, creating a meaningful strain on our operations.
Our Vehicles Aren’t Optional — They Are the Mission!
Each Joybound vehicle plays a critical role, with many of our vehicles traveling long distances up to four times a week. Your support keeps the human-animal bond alive and our wheels turning!
Our intake and rescue vehicle travels across the state to ensure dogs and cats from over-crowded shelters get a chance at finding a new home.
Our mobile clinic vehicle brings vaccine and spay/neuter services to neighborhoods where help is needed most.
Our mobile adoption vehicle connects pets with families across the Bay Area who may not otherwise reach our campus.
Our Community Solutions van helps distribute free pet food to pet guardians facing financial crisis.
Our Shelter to Service van sources specially selected dogs from municipal shelters who may have the aptitude for service or assistance work.
You can directly offset these rising costs:
This proactive approach allows us to keep countless pets out of already-crowded municipal shelters, allowing existing shelter resources to go further. Your contribution immediately protects critical services for the people and pets who rely on us.
