Coastal Pet Rescue Announces Arrival of Santa’s Little Orphans Trees
(Savannah, GA) - November 30, 2008
Granting a wish for a homeless pet can be as simple as choosing an ornament from a Christmas tree.
Several local businesses are hosting Santa’s Little Orphans trees to benefit Coastal Pet Rescue’s pets. Each tree hosts ornaments featuring photos of adoptable pets and a wish list of items they hope to see under the tree this holiday.
Those interested in granting a pet’s wish may visit any of the following businesses and select an ornament from the tree:
* BB&T (Savannah Mall, Oglethorpe Mall, Johnson Square, Pooler, Waters)
* The Crab Shack
* Georgetown Veterinary Clinic
* Pawparazzi
* Plum’s
* TailsSpin
Donations will also be accepted at The Market at Trustees Garden on Wednesdays, 4 to 7 pm at the Charles H. Morris Center.
Sample items for wish lists include dry dog and cat food, toys and treats, washable bedding, clumping cat litter, Petmate Dog Kennels for foster homes, puppy pads, canned tuna and mackeral, puppy and dog shampoo, puppy and small breed dog collars and leashes, Greenies Pill Pockets, Heartgard, Frontline and Capstar flea prentatives, and giftcards from Lowes, TailsSpin, Wal-Mart, Target, and Petco. Items purchased may be left with the business from which the ornaments were taken.
With several special needs pets having higher than expected veterinary bills, monetary donations will be happily accepted at each of the businesses as well.
Santa’s Little Orphans trees is part of Coastal Pet Rescue’s annual Home 4 the Holidays program sponsored by WJCL/FOX 28 and University of Phoenix Savannah Campus. The trees will remain at participating businesses until January 2.
