BULLETIN: A TOY FOR EVERY ANIMAL
A TOY FOR EVERY ANIMAL. The City of Long Beach Animal Care Services receives many requests regarding ways to volunteer to help the animals at our shelter. Currently, Animal Care Services is promoting "a toy for each animal", to improve health and wellness. Chew toys like the Classic Kong help keep animals' minds and bodies engaged, leading to greater health and a higher rate of adoption.
HOW YOU CAN HELP. The City of Long Beach Animal Care Services has implemented a new program for collecting all sizes of red, rubber KONG Classic toys for shelter dogs in the Animal Village facility. The irresistible chew toy is indestructible and safe. It can be easily cleaned and disinfected after each use.
PURCHASING A TOY. Purchase all sizes of Kong Classic toys directly online or at any pet store. Either drop them off yourself at the P.D.Pitchford Animal Shelter (ask for Long Beach Animal Care Services) or have them shipped directly to the following address:
Long Beach Animal Care Services
7700 E. Spring Street
Long Beach, CA 90815
Contact: Debra Brubaker, Public Health Associate (562) 570-7387
DONATIONS. We are working closely with our registered rescue organizations, including Friends of Long Beach Animals (FOLBA ) to obtain toys for the dogs and cats housed at the Village. Donations to FOLBA's Toy Program, will go towards the purchase of
 KONG Classic dog toys (and get two for the price of one), or
 Kitty Woofer balls.
Visit: www.longbeach.gov/acs for more information. |

Updated Bulletin Regarding Ralphs and Food4Less Program
Currently Ralphs is not taking new member sign-ups. On SEPTEMBER 1, 2009, everyone who has been a member of the program needs to re-register (and new sign-ups can register) following the steps below.
Buy Your Groceries at Ralphs and help the Friends! As you may know, if you have a Ralphs or a Food4Less card, you can help the Friends and it won't cost you a dime. Every time you use your Ralphs or your Food4Less card or give your phone number for your Ralphs or Food4Less discount, 4% of your purchases will be sent to the Friends! If you spend over $500 in one month, then 5% of your purchases over that amount will be sent to the Friends.
