D is for Doggy's annual charity drive

D Is For Doggy Family,

The holidays are here, which means D Is For Doggy is having our annual charity drive for the Center For Animal Care and Control, the city-run shelter. We DON'T need money -- just items that might help less fortunate animals feel comfortable, such as blankets, food, and toys. It's our hope that we can make shelter animals feel as good as those with "fur-ever" homes this holiday season.    Starting today, we will be accepting donations of any kind that are included in the CACC Wish List [think blankets, food, wireless crates and toys]. There will be a donation box in the entryway of both locations, so feel free to drop by with any items you'd like to donate to the drive. Happy Holidays to you and your families from everyone at D Is For Doggy!
