The East Side Elves would like to thank everyone for your support since 2017! BUT, the need to continue helping those who are unable to help themselves continues to become more urgent with every passing year.
With that being said, we are ALWAYS looking for monetary donations, high quality edible enrichment, durable toys and training treats to help our volunteers and staff.
Immediately below, is a listing of how YOUR support helped us help so many in 2025:
*Martingales and collars; 3,310
*Matching leashes: 2,560
(We provide over 95% of the martingales and leashes that are given to every adopted dog at the East shelter in Mesa AZ).
*Heavy duty toys: 1,020
*$28,500 - High quality enrichment (which includes providing hot dogs, items for staff and volunteers to have available when taking dogs for walks). We have itemized lists but it would take too long to list here.
*$4,850 - Community assistance. Assist with purchasing dog/cat food, litter to help with those who had a temporary issue with feeding their 4 legged friends. In addition, there has been a need to help send some fur babies over the rainbow bridge.
*$5,000 - donations to rescues for boarding and medical assistance.
*$1,500 - Mesa Community College. 3 vet tech scholarships in memory of our friend Sandy Tennyson.
*Since 2017, we have provided close to $500,000 in support for those who are unable to help themselves.
