Save-A-Pet Holding Annual Supply Drive

Save-A-Pet is asking for the community's help with its annual supply drive that includes needs like cat litter and Science Diet food.

The Michael Shane Lechner Supply Drive was named after a man who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2009. According to Save-A-Pet, Lechner's dog, Cain, was one of his closest friends. Lechner's family donated supplies to Save-A-Pet in his memory, which inspired Save-A-Pet to name its supply drive in Lechner's memory.

This year's supply drive requests the following items: 

• Science Diet dry cat food and kitten food
• Friskies canned cat food (any flavors)
• Canned tuna in water
• Feline Pine or Tidy Cat non-clumping clay litter
• Lysol Wipes and dish detergent
• Science Diet dry dog food
• Pedigree canned dog food
• Other canned dog food (preferably holistic, wellness brands)
• Soft dog treats (preferably healthy, weight-control)
• Small- or medium-sized Milk Bone dog treats
• Small paper plates and paper towels
• Small syringes
• Glucosamine and fish oil supplements
• Gift cards for fuel
• Pet-safe ice melt

Supplies can be dropped off at Save-A-Pet, 31664 N. Fairfield Road, Grayslake, through Dec. 24.

You can also mail a check (reference: Michael's Miracle) or cash to: Save-A-Pet Adoption Center, Attention: Michael's Miracle, P.O. Box 266, Grayslake, IL, 60030.
