We are so grateful to Kong, based in Golden, Colorado, for helping make this Christmas brighter for even more shelter dogs, nationwide. This year they provided us with an incredible number of toys, which means more play, comfort, and joy for dogs waiting for their forever homes. Kong truly is an incredible company of incredible people, who really do care about the animals.
To all of you at Kong, we would like to thank you, not only for your generous contribution, but equally as important, for being the compassionate people that you are.
Thank you to our Friends at Kong.
Thank you to our friends at McBeth
This is the second year the McBeth Foundation, located in Newport Beach CA, has made an incredibly generous donation to our mission. There are certainly thousands of charities for them to choose from, and the fact that they have chosen us is not only a blessing to all the shelter dogs, but it speaks volumes as to the people they are.
Without help from people like you, and organizations like the McBeth Foundation, we would never be able to bring joy to the number of shelter dogs that we do. For that, we will be forever thankful.
Grateful for you…
We are also deeply grateful to all who have made financial contributions to our mission. Without your support, we would never be able to bring Christmas joy to so many shelter dogs.
