13th Annual Shelter Pet Food Collection Drive

Lend a paw and help shelter pets this holiday season

You’re invited to the Presents for Paws Holiday Shelter Food Drive on Saturday December, 12th 2020 to collect items for shelter pets this holiday season. Stop by and see us at two locations: John Gagnon’s Pet Resort (7am-2pm) – 227 Upton Road, Colchester, and Shagbark Lumber (10am-3pm) – 21 Mt. Parnassus Rd, East Haddam. Items needed: new/unopened cat or dog food, new/unopened cat or dog treats (no raw hide, please), and cat litter. If you cannot attend, you can also purchase an item off our Chewy or Amazon wishlist: https://presentsforpaws.org/programs. Monetary donations are also appreciated – we are raising money for a donation shed for the Essex/Chester/Deep River Animal Shelter - they are tax deductible and 100% of your donations go to help shelter animals. Let's put our paws together and help out our furry friends this howl-iday season!

Presents for Paws is a 501c(3) non-profit organization located in East Haddam that collects and distributes supplies to area shelters, rescues, and municipal pounds. For more information on the shelter drive, to make a monetary donation, to purchase items off their wishlist, or to become a volunteer, visit: https://www.facebook.com/presentsforpaws501c or www.presentsforpaws.org.
