Last night Tim Avery and I dropped off the first big donation delivery to the Utah Animal Adoption Center. We had roughly 60 pounds of blankets, stainless steel bowls, sponges, towels, and dog toys. This was my first time visiting the Utah Animal Adoption Center, and it truly is an animal sanctuary. The UAAC is situated along the Jordan River Parkway and there is a lot of open space for the animals to go out and play.

We met with JoAnn Ortega, the Executive Director. She was very appreciative of our donations. She told us that the UAAC, not only takes in homeless pets, but that they also get animals off the "Euthanized List" from other shelters - truly giving animals a second chance. Every Mutt Matters is excited to be working with the UAAC!

The Utah Animal Adoption Center is in need of volunteers. They always need people to come play with the animals, help feed them, and clean up after them. The UAAC is a shelter for dogs, cats, and horses so anyone can find a place they belong. Most animals in the shelter have been through some type of unpleasant experience and they need all the love we can give them. Please try to make some time to volunteer and help these animals. If you would like to volunteer, please send me an email at samantha@everymuttmatters.org or fill out our contact form. You can also view more about volunteering opportunities by clicking here.

Thanks for your help!! We are still collecting any donations, so if you have something to give whether it be a blanket, a dog toy, or a monetary donation please contact us via our contact form. We couldn't do it without you - because EVERY mutt matters!
