Come visit the Thrift Store! New treasures daily!

Our store is more than just a thrift store!

  • We have housewares, tools, books, videos, clothing, pet items, pet kennels, and so much more!
  • We welcome any donations of sealed, unused pet food and the sale of these goes directly to our Public Veterinary Assistance Fund, providing one-time financial assistance for non-routine animal medical care for income-qualified residents of the city of Auburn.
  • Please, remember that broken items or non-working items will take money away from the puppies and kitties at the shelter if we have to dispose of them or haul them away.
  • All the proceeds benefit the lost and homeless animals at the AVHS shelter as well as the humane/pet programs provided by the Auburn Valley Humane Society.
  • Sometimes, we have too many donations to process and may not be able to take your donations right away. Please call us at 253-249-7849 option 6, to make an appointment to guarantee your drop-off time slot.
