At the Broome County Humane Society, every animal is more than just a resident, they’re a soul in need of warmth, safety, and love. But right now, the shelter is facing a heartbreaking shortage.

Their shelves are empty, and they’re completely out of towels and small blankets. Without these simple comforts, it’s hard for the staff to tuck the animals into their beds with the care and kindness they deserve.
