Dallas’ Park Cities Pet Sitter, Inc. Helps Bring Presents to Pets This Holiday Season
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 15, 2013 -- This holiday season will be a little brighter for shelter pets and pets in lower income areas, thanks to the efforts of Dallas-based Park Cities Pet Sitter. Park Cities Pet Sitter joined forces with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and pet sitters and owners from across the country for the third annual “Presents 4 Pets” campaign.
“Presents 4 Pets” is a national collection drive to benefit shelter and rescue animals. Held in conjunction with Humane Society of the United States National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, November 3rd-9th, 2013, this program solicited products needed to help keep shelters and rescue organizations operational, and animals comfortable and safe.
As part of the program, NAPPS member Park Cities Pet Sitter reached out to their clients and to citizens in their community to encourage them to collect and donate products for this worthy cause. Items such as dog and cat toys, treats, blankets, towels, pet food, pet beds, leashes, collars, coupons, and money were collected and donated to local pet shelters and rescue organizations of the company’s choice. Park Cities Pet Sitter collected $4270 worth of pet supplies and donations, which they divided between the Humane Society of Dallas County and Big Fix for Big D.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who donated to this worthy cause and helped to make the “Presents4Pets” campaign a success,” said Joette White, President of Park Cities Pet Sitter. “It is crucial that we remember animal shelters, rescues and the groups working so hard to spay, neuter and vaccinate the pets in our community. They work tirelessly year-round to improve the quality of life for pets in our city, and they deserve our support. We look forward to being able to participate in Presents 4 Pets again next year.”
