SNOOPY WANTS A NICE DOG BED FOR CHRISTMAS


#givingtuesday may officially be over, but Christmas is coming and Snoopy would like you to know that beds are for more than just dogs, his stuffie enjoys them too!

For just $33, you can give the gift of a dog bed. A generous volunteer Darrell Murphy has graciously donated his time to refurbish the Kuranda frames for another year of stuffie snuggling for the dogs at ACPS. Your donation pays for the materials.   

It doesn't have to be Giving Tuesday for you to make a difference and help us refurbish the 268 dog beds at ACPS.
