Now through October, NAPPS members will collect pet products to be donated to local animal shelters and rescue groups. Requested items for donation include pet toys, treats, blankets, towels, rugs, beds, leashes, collars, coupons, newspapers and bleach.
Presents 4 Pets will be held in conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States’ National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, Nov. 6 to 12.
“We encourage all pet owners and pet lovers to get involved,” said Tiffany Hammer Manson, chair of the NAPPS Presents 4 Pets Committee. “This is a great way to make a difference in the lives of shelter and rescue animals in your community.”
Those who wish to participate in the sixth annual Presents 4 Pets should contact a NAPPS pet sitter in their area by visiting here.
In addition, shoppers of online retailer FetchDog.com will be able to donate a percentage of their total purchase to the campaign.
In 2010, NAPPS raised more than $63,900 in cash and supplies through the program.
