Several toad species can be found during monsoon, but the one to be most cautious about is the Sonoran Desert Toad.  These amphibians contain a hallucinogenic toxin that can be fatal to pets if they pick one up in their mouth.  If this happens, immediately rinse the pet’s mouth out with a garden hose from front to back and contact your veterinarian.  For humans, the same toxin can also pose a threat.  Immediately wash your hands thoroughly if you come into contact with one.

Smaller Spadeftoot Toads are more common and non-toxic.  They spend most of their lives underground and emerge during monsoon to mate.

Thanks for all of the high-quality donations!  Please note that new socks are no longer needed due to a large donation by a manufacturer.  However, new men's & women's underwear are very much needed along with all of the usual hygiene items (especially shampoo & conditioner).  Food items needed include peanut butter, canned protein, rice, pasta, cereal, canned fruit & vegetables &   non-perishable healthy snacks.  The donation box is just outside the main entrance to the Center.
