Santa Paws Pet Toy Holiday Drive

Published on December 7, 2017

Huntsville Animal Services is asking pet lovers to spread a little joy this holiday season by donating toys for the shelter dogs and cats.

Toys help pets get adopted. People love to see a playful kitten or puppy leaping about with a toy, and a happy pet is more attractive to potential owners.

Shelter dogs and puppies need the larger rope toys or hard and durable dog toys, and any type of cat toy will do for the feline friends.

Also needed for our furry friends at the Shelter:  nylon leashes, blue and pink collars of all sizes for dogs, canned pet food, blankets, towels, grooming tools, and the larger-size shredded paper.

Donations will be accepted through January 6, 2018, and may be dropped off at the Shelter or mailed to the attention Pet Toy Project, Huntsville Animal Services, 4950 Triana Boulevard, Huntsville, AL 35805.

Shelter adoption hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The shelter is closed on Sundays and recognized holidays.
