For the 10th Year, Best Friends Angel Tree Helps Shelter Pets

Animal lovers can share their holiday spirit again this year by donating food, toys and treats for homeless dogs and cats through Best Friends Pet Care's 10th Annual Angel Tree campaign. Every Best Friends location is collecting donations to local animal shelters and rescues.



\



Best Friends launched the program ten years ago, inviting clients to purchase and donate toys and treats for the shelter pets. The program has grown each year, providing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of food, toys and pet care products to more than 75 different shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S.



The holiday season can be a difficult time for our animal shelters because donations of food and funds fall off when regular supporters are preoccupied with the holidays. The poor economy over the past two years has made matters even worse for all non-profits, including shelters. The Angel Tree program helps many shelters get through the holiday season.



The Angel Tree is put up in the lobby of each Best Friends Pet Care center during Thanksgiving week each year. It is decorated with paper ornaments providing information about needy dogs and cats being cared for by local shelters and rescues. Pet lovers are invited to select a card from the tree and donate the listed holiday gifts. The company supplements customer donations with large bags of food and other supplies.



In addition, all of the pets featured on the tree are available for adoption - and many have found homes over the years thanks to the program.



Best Friends Norwalk is collecting donations for Bully Breed Rescue, PAWS, and Outreach to PEts In Need. Donations can be made by visiting or calling us at 203 849 1010

Jingle Bulls Adoption Event!

Dolly is a sweet as candy! Dolly was surrendered by her owner to a high kill shelter, after he used to make many litters of puppies. But Dolly does not hold a grudge! She is a total love muffin, who LOVES to be touched! She lets out sighs of happiness when she is being pet and scratched. Cupcake is calm, cool, and collected. This laid back girl is looking for someone to pet her head or rub her belly while watching your favorite T.V. show! Dolly walks very well on leash too, and weighs around 60-65 lbs. Dolly is AMAZING with children! She has lived in a home with a 2 yr old boy, and has had many of his friends come over and trip,lay,and use dolly as a head rest! If you are interested in this dog, please contact Heidi at bbrct@yahoo.com or come to Best Friends this Saturday to meet her at our "Jingle Bulls" Adoption Event!
