OKLA. CITY —
Oklahoma City-area animal lovers can share their holiday spirit by donating food, toys and treats for homeless dogs and cats through Best Friends Pet Care’s 12th Annual Animal Angel Tree campaign. All donations will benefit Edmond Animal Welfare.
“The holiday season is always difficult for our local animal shelters,” explains Best Friends manager Breanna Wray. “This year, Hurricane Sandy has put an even bigger burden on shelters — not just along the East Coast, but across the country — because so many lost and abandoned pets need help. We know our Angel Tree program will make a difference for many pets in need.”
Best Friends has put up its Animal Angel Tree in its lobby. The tree is decorated with paper ornaments featuring photos and information about needy dogs and cats. Pet lovers can call to select a card from the tree and donate from the shelter’s wish list for that dog or cat.
Donations to the Animal Angel Tree program can be made at Best Friends Pet Care at 13517 Railway Drive or by calling 405-751-1944 by Dec. 31.
All pets featured on the tree are available for adoption.
Best Friends Pet Care offers boarding, grooming and doggy day camp at 42 locations across the U.S. The Animal Angel Tree campaign is one way the company gives back to the community. Since the campaign began, it has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of food, toys and pet care products for more than 100 shelters and rescues across the U.S. For more information, visit www.bestfriendspetcare.com.

If only I’d known what was coming, I would’a stayed out of Edmond’s seductive garden shops last weekend, but it’s been a long, cold winter and I couldn’t resist all those colorful flowery offerings begging, “Take me! “Take me!” -
