HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Pups need items in every shape and size to keep them safe, healthy and comfortable. The Karma Rescue Wish List features lots of items that our dogs could use. Organizing a drive to collect some of these items will go a long way in helping our dogs stay healthy and happy at home with their loving families.
DESCRIPTION
Just like you, dogs need toys, blankets, food and other items to stay happy and healthy. Give the gift of supplies to dogs from families who cannot afford supplies. They will thank you from the tips of their ears to the tips of their tails!
ITEMS NEEDED
- Paper or posterboard
- Markers
- Pictures of dogs
- 2-3 cardboard boxes or large storage bins
- Access to the internet (to view Karma Rescue's Wish List)
