This is from the Best Friends Pet Care of the Houston area:
Animal lovers who want to share the holiday spirit of giving are invited to donate food, toys and treats for dogs and cats at animal shelters this month through a special program organized by Best Friends Pet Care.
Best Friends Veterinary Hospital, at 26947 I-45 in Spring, Best Friends Pet Resort at 26839 I-45 South in Spring, and Best Friends Pet Hotel at 5602 Royalton in Houston, have set up Angel Trees with cards providing information about needy dogs and cats at the Humane Society of Montgomery County and Greyhound Pets of America.
"The holiday season can be a difficult time for animal shelters," explains Brandy Waggoner, manager of Best Friends in Houston. "Donations of food and funds decline at this time of year. What's more, few animals find homes during the holidays, so many shelters are at capacity and need donations more than ever."
Pet lovers can support the program by visiting any Best Friends and selecting a homeless animal from the Angel Tree. "Each shelter has specific needs at this time of year, so we've included items from their wish list on our Angel Tree cards," adds Leslie Wisdom of Best Friends in Spring. Best Friends stocks the gifts, treats and supplies on each shelter's wish list.
Donations will be accepted through the end of December. Only new items still in the package will be accepted. To donate by phone, call (281) 298-6500, or (713) 664-6111.
Best Friends Angel Tree Program is in its fifth year. For more information or directions, visit the Best Friends website at www.bestfriendspetcare.com.
