Homeless Pets Seek Santa’s Help This Season
(Savannah, GA) - December 01, 2007
Coastal Pet Rescue’s homeless pets have been good boys and girls this year. While they hope Santa will grant all their wishes, they know he is busy and ask for your help as well.
Eight 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:
* BankSouth (18 W. Bryan St. and 620 Stephenson Ave)
* BB&T (Savannah Mall, Oglethorpe Mall, Johnson Square, Pooler, and Waters Avenue branches)
* Canine Palace
* Habersham Beverage
* Punch & Judy
* Shady Pines Kennels
* TailsSpin
* Wachovia (Wilmington Island and Garden City branches)
Sample items for wish lists include Purina dry dog and cat food, toys and treats, washable bedding, clumping cat litter, Petmate Dog Kennels for Homes, Puppy pads, KMR for Kittens, canned tuna and mackeral, puppy and dog shampoo, puppy and small breed dog collars and leashes, Heartgard, Frontline and Capstar flea prentatives, and giftcards from TailsSpin, Canine Palace, Wal-Mart, Target, Pet Supermarket, Petco.com, and PetSmart. Items purchased may be left with the business from which the ornaments were taken.
With two very special needs dogs 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 ABC 22, WTGS FOX 28, The Wound Care Clinic, Electric Lemonade, At Home Pet Sitters, BankSouth, Crossroad Animal Hospital, and Elegant Gifts. The trees will remain at participating businesses until December 30.
