Citizens can donate items to support abandoned and rescued animals impacted by the Cold Springs Wildfire. Donations will be accepted in the Newcastle City Hall lobby during regular business hours through Wednesday, September 16. The most requested items are: dog/cat food, bedding/bandages/ointments for animals (burn wounds), and goat feed. 

This drive is led by a member of the Newcastle Police Department, who volunteers with an animal rescue in his spare time. Donated supplies will be delivered to the Okanogan County Fairgrounds and the Colville Tribe later this week.
