BRATTLEBORO - The Windham County Humane Society is in desperate need of a variety of new dog and cat toys to keep shelter pets’ spirits bright as they wait for their new family.
The shelter houses hundreds of homeless animals each year. While some dogs, cats or other pets are at the shelter for only a few days, an injured or sick homeless animal may require more time to become well and find their new loving home.
The shelter looks forward to the holiday season for a large influx of new pet toys. People are buying their pets gifts during this time of year and often they buy a couple of extra toys for the shelter animals. Popular toys include Kongs, Nylabone chew toys, plush toys, feather wands, crinkle balls, and catnip mice.
The pet toy drive runs from Saturday, December 10, to Tuesday, December 20. One Stop Country Pet Supply, located at 648 Putney Road, is offering 30% off all toys purchased for the shelter at their location. They will collect the toys and bring them to the shelter on Wednesday, December 21.
People can also drop off toys at the WCHS shelter located at 916 West River Road. A wish list of toys is also available at windhamcountyhumane.org. Monetary donations are also accepted. For more information visit windhamcountyhumane.org or send a check to WCHS, PO Box 397, Brattleboro, VT 05301.
