Support TJO Animals
Our 501c3 non-profit fundraising organization, the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center Foundation is committed to enriching the lives of the homeless animals in our care.
The TJO Foundation was formed to enable us to treat adoptable animals who may not be quite ready for a new home when they arrive at our facility.
Contributions are tax-deductible and are received directly into the TJO Foundation account, managed by a board of directors, and spending is at the recommendation of the TJO staff.
Please click on the DONATE button to invest in a better future for our animals! Checks can be made payable to the TJO Foundation and can be sent to 627 Cottage Street Springfield, MA 01104.
