Especially for Pets in the Community
The Adoption Initiative July through December 2010
Especially for Pets has teamed up with local non-profits and rescue organizations to promote pets available for adoption as well as to raise awareness about the work being done in the rescue community. It is our ultimate goal to educate our customers about what the specific organizations do, to collect donations for their use and, ultimately to help the organizations place homeless animals in permanent, loving homes. Each Especially for Pets store has partnered with a different local non-profit from July through December 2010. You can visit our stores to check out the Adoption Board to see photos of the animals available for adoption and/or pick up a copy of their ‘Wish List’ and make a donation to support the organization of your choice. Here is a list by store and their partner’s Wish List:  Acton & The Boxer RescueThe Boxer Rescue could not exist without donations from people like you. Many of their dogs coming into rescue require expensive medical treatment before they can be placed in their “forever” homes. The adoption donation is often not sufficient to cover all of the expenses. Since The Boxer Rescue is solely operated on a volunteer basis, funding is always tight; therefore, your donation small or large will go a long way in helping dogs in need. No donation is ever too small to help a Boxer dog in need. If you would like to help The Boxer Rescue, please consider making a donation or supporting them in one of the many ways listed below.
