The “creatures will be stirring” at Contra Costa County Animal Services in Martinez at noon on Friday when dozens of toys and treats arrive just in time for the holidays! Shelters get crowded during the holidays, and that can create extra stress on animals. The chewable toys and treats help them reduce stress.
CCCAS has partnered with Oakland-based Pet Food Express for the past 10 years on the Giving Tree fundraiser. People can donate a toy or a treat to the Giving Tree at any Pet Food Express in the Bay Area through the end of December, and Pet Food Express delivers those donations directly to dozens of shelters including CCCAS. The holidays are often the busiest time of the year for shelters and that can be stressful on the animals. A chew toy or treat can help reduce stress.
Last year, Pet Food Express raised more than $80,000 worth of toys, treats and cash: enough to provide every homeless pet in the Bay Area with a new toy or treat.
Come see all the pets “dressed in fur from their head to their feet” enjoying toys and treats at noon this Friday at CCCAS .
