Donations Needed for the Animal Shelter


The City of Jerome Animal shelter has come a long way in the last year and a half with the help and generosity of its volunteers and members of the community. The budget for the shelter is very small and a lot of what we are now able to do (such as medical care for the dogs in need) is largely due to the fact that people, like yourself, are willing to donate to the shelter. And now we have made it even easier to donate to the Shelter!

Now you can donate directly via PayPal! Donations can be made in the memory of others or as a gift as well!
So if you wish to donate to the shelter via PayPal follow the directions below;
- Go to: www.ci.jerome.id.us
- Across the top you will see [Departments] – click on that link
- A drop down list will appear on the left side – click on Animal Shelter
- There you will see a link - $ Donate to the animal shelter using PayPal - CLICK HERE

It’s as simple as that! Every nickel helps! Thank you in advance from all of us!
