Handcrafted Blankets & Tugs

The Campus Service Council club supported program pets this fall, with a donation of 19 beautiful fleece tie blankets and 112 hand-made tug toys!  Bags of additional tug toys were handed off to half a dozen partners.  The club also facilitated an in-kind drive to bring in treats for cats and dogs.

It Takes a Village

Our deepest thanks to customers of Treats On A Leash in Ames and Flo+Friends in Slater for their donations of food, toys, treats, and grooming supplies. Most of the items were kept for use with pets housed with our program for treatment, and some goodies were also given to our partners. The pups and kitties appreciate all you do to help pets in need!

CVM Towel Drive

A towel drive with members of the College of Veterinary Medicine yielded 70 full-size towels and 12 hand towels to add to our supply.  Thanks, everyone!

Kong Company Cares

The C.O. Program thanks the Kong Company for their generous donation of enrichment items for cats and dogs. Pets now have an outlet for stress-relieving licking and chewing while they are housed with the program for spay/neuter surgery by veterinary students.  

Dog Run Upgrade

Members of the ISU Pay It Forward club gathered to make improvements to the fencing and dog waste stations in the outdoor dog runs. We are now well-stocked with waste bags and sturdy trash cans for our approximately 160 dogs treated annually!

Need a Boost?...

Snip-Snip Snackies is up and running, with grab-and-go treats for our hardworking pet transporters! During pick-up times, snackies will be brought out to vehicles or will be available on the end table between our snazzy vintage orange couches. If you need a pick-me-up before you hit the road, feel free to select a goodie or two!

Towels Galore!

Thanks to Midwest Healthcare Linen Service in Des Moines for their generous donation of 150 towels and 40 hand towels to stock our shelves. We also received a heaping quantity of washcloths and 135 blankets, which were distributed to eight shelter facilities participating in the summer rotation course.
