We are so grateful to Kong, based in Golden, Colorado, for helping make this Christmas brighter for shelter dogs nationwide. Their generous donation of toys means more play, comfort, and joy for dogs waiting for their forever homes. Thank you, Kong, for keeping tails wagging this holiday season!

Thank you to our Friends at Kong.

A heartfelt thank you to Benebone, from Westport, Connecticut, for bringing extra joy to shelter dogs this Christmas season. Their donation of chew toys means comfort, fun, and happy distractions for dogs as they wait for loving families. We’re grateful to Benebone for helping us spread cheer, one wag at a time.

Thank you to our friends at Benebone.

Grateful for you…
