Scottsdale Holiday toy drive benefits Best Friends Sanctuary animals

October 24, 2009, 2:0PM MT
By Amie McGraham, Best Friends Network Volunteer
Donations accepted through December 5

A Scottsdale veterinary clinic and drugstore are collecting new and gently used animal toys this holiday season to benefit the animals at the Best Friends Sanctuary. 

 

“Upon volunteering with Best Friends this summer, I discovered that they were in need of new or gently used toys for all animals for the holidays,” says Jeanne Alspaugh, a Best Friends network member. “All of the toys that Best Friends receives after July 1st are set aside for the holiday season. And every animal  -- dogs, cats, birds, horses, pigs -- gets a toy for the holidays.”
 
 
Del Lago Veterinary Clinic and a Scottsdale Walgreens drug store began collecting donations this summer. “Go through all those toy boxes at home and see if you have any ‘gently used’ toys that your special guy or gal just doesn’t have interest in any more,” Alspaugh suggests. “Toys can be dropped at either location.”
