WEST PALM BEACH – Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control has kicked off its 18th Annual Santa Paws & Claws
Shelter Pet Toy Project.
Officials are asking residents to help a shelter dog or cat find a new home for the holidays. They can also donate a new toy for a homeless animal during the Santa Paws & Claws Pet Toy Project. This year’s project runs through January 7, 2011.
Having toys helps keep shelter pets happy, healthy and playful; therefore making it easier for them to find loving homes. Here is the shelter’s Wish List:
For cats: Cage-sized, cardboard cat scratchers, play amice, ball play toys, treats, Kuranda pet beds.
For dogs: tennis balls, Nylabones, Kong toys, pet food puzzles and treats (no rawhides).
Toys can be mailed or delivered to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, Attention: Pet Toy Project, 7100 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33411. Lobby hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
