Help us share the warmth this winter.
Until October 31, visit a veterinary clinic near you to donate new or gently used pet care items such as sweaters, booties, blankets and more. The clinic will sort and directly deliver your donations to eligible organizations across the country such as animal health shelters, community outreach programs and SPCAs.
This year, veterinary clinics will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by sending donations straight to shelters.
We hope that this will also build stronger local ties by connecting clinics with nearby shelters.
A small change with a big impact!
