WAGS AND WHISKERS WISH LIST SUPPLY DRIVE: Wags & Whiskers Wish List Drive is our community-wide supply drive that happens each year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. We are expanding Wags and Whiskers for 2019 and asking additional businesses in our community to join in and host a donation box at their place of business – it is a wonderful opportunity to share the spirit of giving with clients and customers and build teamwork in the office. Participating businesses will receive a donation box and copies of the wish list to share with employees, clients and customers. Interested businesses should visit www.BHSBlackFriday.org to fill out a short form and a donation box and everything you need to promote the event will be delivered by BHS.

GIVING TREES: Ornaments representing our animals, with their wish list on the back, will be available to those who visit either the Baltimore Humane Society at 1601 Nicodemus Road in Reisterstown or Floors Etc. at 9603 Deereco Road, Suite 200 in Timonium until December. Wish list items purchased can be brought to either BHS or Floors Etc. and put under the trees or in the donation boxes provided.

FLOORS ETC. DONATIONS FROM AREA RUG PURCHASES: A donation of $100 will be made to BHS from every purchase of an area rug from Floors Etc. in Timonium during the month of December. Visit Floors Etc. in person at 9603 Deereco Road, Suite 200, or online at floors-etc.com.ABOUT THE BALTIMORE HUMANE SOCIETY: Founded in 1927, the Baltimore Humane Society works to provide temporary safe refuge for homeless pets until they can be placed into permanent, loving homes.
