While our building is still closed to the public, we HIGHLY encourage any groups interested in volunteering to help CMHS animals by organizing and collecting items from our WISH LIST. If your group has an animal friendly office, we'd be happy to bring an animal to you so the group can see who is benefitting from your hard work and generosity!
