A home for the holidays. That’s our wish for each and every one of the animals in our care. We understand that not everyone can adopt but there are plenty of other ways to make this holiday season count for the homeless dogs, cats and rabbits of Animal Friends …
Stuff their stockings. All of our animals have made the “nice list” and could use some special toys and treats to bring them holiday cheer. So stop into our Retail Store, choose a tag from our Giving Tree and purchase that item as a gift to one of our residents.
Simply put, we can’t continue our lifesaving mission without your support. Please consider making a year-end gift today by visiting ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org/ MakeItCount.
Become an Animal Friends’ little helper by volunteering. From spending time with our animals to lending a hand at events to greeting our shelter visitors – there’s truly something for everyone.
And, from everyone at Animal Friends (two- and four-legged!), we wish you nothing but the best this joyous time of year. Happy Holidays!
However you choose to support the animals, we know you’ll make it count.
