Help Pups Like Darla

Back in 2022, we had a chance to help a sweet shelter pup named Darla, who had a serious injury that was too severe for the shelter's resources to manage. We were inspired by her story and her bravery, and decided to name our emergency medical fund for shelter animals in her honor. The fund now remains available year-round, thanks to the kindness of our friends like you who also believe that every animal with a treatable medical condition deserves a chance.

You might expect that animals like Darla wouldn’t get a second thought when it came time to make the difficult decision about how to use shelter resources. But Columbia Animal Services is committed to finding a way to help her. We are too, and we hope you’ll join us.
