Come and get it!
📅 When: This Saturday 12/13
📍 Where: Drive-thru pickup in front of 606 Skyline Dr.
🕒 Time: 1-3 PM
What you need to know:
Open to everyone
Limited quantities per family so we can make sure all interested folks have the chance to participate. (We have a lot to give away, so we don't anticipate running out).
Just come by, pick up some food, and help us make sure no local dog goes hungry.
Feel free to share this post to help spread the word! We can’t wait to see you and help fill some happy dog bowls!

Every donation — big or small — helps us care for animals today while building a better tomorrow.
