Your support is crucial to their survival. Cash or check donations may be made at any Wells Fargo branch, for your convenience. Should you choose to donate in cash, please consider leaving a receipt with your contact information. Prairie Dog Pals would like to send you an acknowledgment so that you may take advantage of your tax-deductible donation.
