The county said pets in their shelter need blankets, pet beds, treats, and toys to help keep them warm, comfy, playful, and entertained while they wait for their fur-ever families this holiday season.
Additionally, these gifts help provide needed supplies to ‘pet parents’ taking care of the shelter animals in the foster program.
