Newspapers needed!

The Bad News: We're running low on newspapers!
The Good News: We have something to use the newspapers for! 

We're excited to resume dog transports with our out of state rescue partners! When animals come to the shelter from out of state, they are required to be isolated from the shelter population for at least 48 hours. During this period, animals are given health checks and monitored for potential diseases. 

We use newspapers in our isolation rooms to line kennels. Shredded paper absorbs waste and provides comfort, while flattened sheets provide easy cleanup. 

If you have newspapers at home, we can certainly use them! You can drop off stacks of newspaper at the shelter, right outside the front doors, from 9am-2pm any day. 

If you have the time, you can prep these newspapers to be easily used by our staff. Flattening out your stacks makes it super easy for staff to lay out stacks as they prepare multiple rooms for the arrival of many dogs and puppies! Transport arrivals can be busy, and having pre-flattened and pre-shredded paper saves time and frustration as we prepare for arrivals. 

Watch this short video below for instructions on how to flatten your stacks for donating! 

THANK YOU!
