Throughout December, the Maryland SPCA is collecting toys for the cats and dogs in their adoption center. The goal is to collect enough toys in one month to entertain the homeless animals in our shelter throughout the coming year by filling our sleigh! You can help by bringing new cat and dog toys and treats to the Maryland SPCA. Some of the toys the pets like best are Kongs, Buster Cubes, toy mice (without catnip) and plush squeaky toys. Providing toys for the animals is more than a nice touch. Having toys and treats in the shelter environment helps socialize pets, reduces stress and improves health. Pet donations can also be ordered directly from
our Amazon Wish List and the items you purchased will be delivered to the pets at the Maryland SPCA.
Ages: All ages are welcome
