14th Annual Animal Shelter Collection Drive

Pet food drive to help animal shelters this holiday season

Let's help out our furry friends this paw-liday season! Presents for Paws is hosting their 14th Annual Holiday Shelter Drive on Saturday December, 11th 2021 to collect items for local animal shelters. There are two drop off locations: John Gagnon’s Pet Resort – 227 Upton Road, Colchester, and Shagbark Lumber – 21 Mt. Parnassus Rd, East Haddam. Items needed: Purina dog food (wet/dry, unopened), cat/kitten food (wet/dry, any brand, unopened), cat/dog treats (no rawhide), and cat litter. Last year we collected over 3,800 lbs of food and supplies, please help us collect a new record!

Event is rain or shine. If you cannot make it to one of the drop off locations, be sure to check out our Chewy, Amazon, and Walmart wishlists (https://presentsforpaws.org/programs). Your purchase will be delivered right to our door and then out to shelters.

Presents for Paws is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in East Haddam that collects and distributes supplies to area shelters, rescues, and municipal pounds. For more information, visit: https://www.facebook.com/presentsforpaws501c or www.presentsforpaws.org.
