Two different holiday promotions are designed to provide needed items for the animals residing at Taney County Animal Control.
The first initiative is very unique.
"The Friends of the Taney County Animal Control are hosting a Giving Tree Drive to collect much needed supplies to help provide comfort and enrichment for the animals," explained Tracy Cartwright, volunteer coordinator.
Area businesses and organizations are encouraged to place a small Giving Tree in their establishment that outlines Animal Control's Christmas Wish List for the pets in their care. Ornaments on the Giving Tree list items that can be purchased and donated to the Taney County Animal Control, such as elevated beds, leashes, collars, treats and toys.
Giving Trees can be displayed and items collected until Christmas.
The Taney County Animal Control is also launching Project Linus, in an effort to upgrade the bedding for the animals for the upcoming winter months.
"We are seeking volunteers from our community to donate or make thicker fleece blankets," explained Cartwright. "This would be a great project for families, groups, schools and anyone interested in helping the dogs have a warmer season."
While all donations of bedding are appreciated, the shelter specifically needs thicker fleece blankets as they provide more warmth and comfort during the winter.
If you or someone you know would like to help make the holidays brighter for the animals at Taney County Animal Control, either by displaying a Giving Tree or providing warm bedding, please contact Tracy Cartwright at 402-215-3575.
