Donations will be used to assist homeless animals in nonprofit’s foster care program

In today's unsteady economy, more pets are finding themselves hungry and homeless as their families face difficult financial times. During this season of caring and helping, you can help the Arizona Humane Society make a difference in the lives of these pets in your community.

From November 1 through December 31, 2009, Arizona's largest, nonprofit, animal welfare agency will once again conduct its annual Holiday Pet Food and Toy Drive. This collection effort will provide much-needed food and toys for the 450 volunteer foster families caring for our homeless pets as they recover from surgery, illness and the emotional distress of losing their homes and families.   

"We are asking for donations of non-perishable, unopened dog and cat food as well as new dog and cat toys," said Gina Ward, AHS manager of corporate and foundation relations.

There are two locations to drop off your donations and receive an in-kind, tax deductible donation form:

• Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion: 1521 West Dobbins Road, Phoenix 85041 (15th Avenue & Dobbins Road)
