Help Will County Animal Protection Services Keep Dogs and Cats Happy, Healthy and Safe with a Donation
By K.P. Lynne
This week is Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week - but in all honesty - "appreciation" should be given EVERY&nbsp;day - as it is truly a labor of love - 24/7 - every day of the year.&nbsp;
The need for pet supplies never ends for these dedicated individuals who selflessly care for lost, stray, abandoned or unhoused animals.
The greatest immediate needs are on the attached list. And, of course, you can donate beyond this week, as the need for food and supplies is year-round.&nbsp;
Donations may be dropped off in-person at the facility during business hours - but until April 18 - there are additional drop-off locations - on the flyer at the end of this article! (Please scroll to the bottom for the flyer.)&nbsp;
Pet food and supply donations may also be direct-shipped simply by adding the address below to your "Gift Address" book on Amazon, Walmart, Target, PetSmart, PetCo, Pet Supplies Plus, Runnings, Farm &amp; Fleet, Tractor Supply&nbsp;Company, or other favorite retailer. Simply select the address below from your gift addresses.&nbsp;
