Please share the love you have for animals by helping us assist those in need. Animals are relinquished to pounds and shelters daily when families might keep them with just a little support. Please bring us donations of dog and cat food for distribution to the pound and social services after our fundraiser.
In donating and/or shopping you will help make a difference in the lives of needy animals in New London County. Monies raised will go towards purchasing 2 new stainless steel cat cages for New London Animal Control.
