• December 2009

  Volunteer Orientation scheduled Sunday, December 6, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at Animal Care and Control, 7100 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach. No appointment necessary. For more information, call Tammy at (561) 233-1281.

  17th Annual Pet Toy Project begins directly after the Thanksgiving holiday. By donating a new dog or cat toy to a shelter pet, you can make a difference that may save a life. Pets with toys are more likely to be active and noticed by potential adopters. The best type of pet toy for dogs is the hard indestructible toy, and cats and kittens love all types of cat toys. Call 561-233-1222 for more information or e-mail us at pbcacc@pbcgov.org.
