Special Thanks to our Sponsors and those who Donated!

The No Cold Pets Project is a seasonal HATS initiative dedicated to preventing winter hardship for outdoor pets in Lincoln County. Our mission is simple: distribute life-saving supplies to families in need so their pets can stay healthy and sheltered during freezing temperatures.

How It Works

  • Pre-Registration Required: Pet owners pre-register to request supplies for their animals. This helps us match resources to need.

  • Supply Distribution: On the designated event day, registered families receive essential items such as insulated dog houses, feral‑cat shelters, straw, cedar bedding, and dry or canned food.

Why It Matters

  • Prevents Suffering: Cold weather leads to health risks for pets without proper shelter or nutrition. This project prevents unnecessary illness and loss.

  • Keeps Pets in Their Homes: By supporting families, we reduce shelter intake and help pets stay with their owners.

  • Powered by Community: Fueled by donations and volunteer efforts, past projects have served dozens of households in a single day.
