Santa Paws Drive – Need Nominations!
Yup, its that time of year again my furriends! All the hooman elves over at Santa Paws Drive are getting ready to take donations of toys, treats, and cash to help out all the shelter kitties and doggies. But this year is extra special because we are asking for nominations for “special needs” rescue groups. We would love it if you know of a rescue group that helps extra special needs pets such as less/un-adoptable pets, senior pets, blind pets, medical needs pets, or retired racing dogs for example.
If you know of such a rescue group please go to www.santapawsdrive.com and nominate them. After six rescue groups are selected then beginning November 1st all the elves will be collecting donations! But first we needs your help by nominating any special needs groups all over the world.
