Paws-giving Day Exceeds Expectations

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, on November 23rd, the Westy Dog Park Guardians organized a "Paws-giving Day" pet food drive for needy animals. The community response was simply amazing.

In total, 2,928 pounds of pet food was collected, and that's not counting blankets, toys, treats, collars and leashes!

Westminster City Councilor, Obi Ezeadi, said “I care about this, because one of the first and hardest decisions for someone in crisis is giving up their beloved pet, often their closest source of comfort. This Paws-giving Day Pet Food Drive helps keep families and their pets together by providing essential support.”

Dog & Cat food donations were evenly divided between Foothills Animal Shelter (https://foothillsanimalshelter.org) and FISH of Westminster (https://fishofwestminster.org).  Collars and leashes were shared with Animal Control of  Westminster and Foothills Animal Shelter. The non-profit organizations can accept donations directly.

For all involved, helping those in need was a rewarding experience. Thank you for your generosity.
