Animal Humane is asking for canned dog and cat food, blankets, towels, kitty litter and baby socks for post-surgery patients. A complete wish list, donation sites and more information can be found at Staff Council.
"Research shows that owning a pet helps people lead healthier lives reducing stress and encouraging exercise," said Kathy Meadows, UNM staff. "Unfortunately, a growing number of pet owners are surrendering their animals to agencies due to the economic downturn. Not everyone is able to adopt, but our committee is providing a way to donate to shelters to ensure homeless animals are cared for and to fill an unmet need this holiday season."
