National Animal Shelter Check In Day is Saturday

 

Join Best Friends Animal Society and other pet lovers on Saturday, November 10 for the second annual National Animal Shelter Check-in Day, designed to shine a giant, digital spotlight on homeless pets around our country.

How do you participate?
Go to your local animal shelter and "check-in" using your mobile phone's geo-location app.  While you're there, take a picture of a dog or cat and share it.  Please use the #CheckinDay hashtag so your tweet appears in the Best Friends Twitter Ticker.  Depending on the shelter's rules, you could even volunteer by walking a dog or getting silly with a cat.

It's easy!

Join the campaign today and help spread the word.

Hurry - Third Annual National Pet Food Drive Ends Sunday

Petco and the Petco Foundation are partnering with Best Friends Animal Society and Hill's Science Diet to host the annual National Pet Food Drive through November 11, 2012.

Donations of dog and cat food are being accepted at every Petco and Unleashed by Petco to help families have a nutritious and happy Thanksgiving with their pets.  Each store is partnering with a local food bank or animal welfare groups to see to it that the donations go directly to the folks who need it most.

Best Friends Animal Society is helping supply the volunteer manpower in the stores to educate the clientele about the mission and help garner donations.

Once again, Hill's Science Diet is committing to match every bag of Hill's Science Diet dog and cat food donated, up to 80,000 pounds.  This year's goal is to get a half-million pounds of pet food donated.  People can donate whatever brand they'd like, but they maximize their donation by making it Hill's Science Diet.
