Community Update

Local animal lovers can share their holiday spirit by
donating food, toys and treats for homeless dogs and cats through Best Friends
Pet Care’s 13th Annual Animal Angel Tree campaign.  



The Best Friends pet care center in Marietta will
be collecting donations for Our Pal’s
Place of Marietta.



Each Best Friends center has an Animal Angel Tree in its
lobby decorated with paper ornaments featuring photos and information about
needy dogs and cats. All pets featured on the tree are available for adoption. Next
to the tree is a “wish list” of items needed by the shelters for the animals in
its care. Pet lovers are invited to fill those wishes by donating the items, or
making a cash contribution to the campaign. Only new, unused items will be
accepted.

 “Since the Angel Tree program began in 2000, we’ve collected
hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of food, toys and pet care supplies for
more than 100 different shelters and rescues across the U.S.,” said Robin
Williams, director of marketing for Best Friends.  “More
than 60 shelter and rescue organizations are participating in this year’s
program and we know our Angel Tree program will make a difference for
many pets in need.” 



Donations to the Animal Angel Tree program will be accepted
until New Year’s Day. Visit or call Best Friends at 1087 Johnson Ferry Road, NE., Marietta
