There's just one week left to make the holidays special for animals in need! A big thank you goes out to HSVC volunteer Denise, pictured left with HSVC Programs Director Arlene MacSween, for recently donating a truck full of pet food and treats in support of our efforts!

Denise has been volunteering with our shelter for nearly a year, but she has been making large pet food donations for over 15 years. This year she and her fellow animal lovers compiled donations including wet and dry dog and cat food, dog and cat treats, and dog toys! When asked what inspires her to give during this time of year, Denise replied, "We want to do everything we can to pay it forward and help keep animals in their homes during the holidays. No one should have to make the decision of whether to feed themselves or their animals." From all of us at HSVC, thank you Denise and friends for helping us make the holidays a little brighter for homeless animals in need!

You can help us keep pets and their families together this holiday season by donating pet food to support our holiday pet food drive. We are looking for donations of unopened bags of dry dog and cat food, unopened wet dog and cat food, and unopened puppy and kitten food. Supporters are also welcome to donate toys to stuff the stockings of our shelter furry friends. Those interested in donating can purchase food and toys directly from our Wishlists by clicking the buttons below.
