Hello everyone!
This year Puppies In Balance in conjunction withThinkingPets is holding a “Santa Shoebox” Christmas drive for the dogs and cats at various selected rescue organizations across South Africa and Mozambique. So far, we’ve selected Barking Mad, the Sandton SPCA, Kitty Shelter (Cat-a-holics) and Claw as the four JHB based rescue organizations, and we're busy identifying rescue organizations in the rest of South Africa and Mozambique. The idea behind this project is to collect necessary items that can then be distributed between the rescue organizations to help make Christmas special for all the dogs and cats in their care.
It’s really easy to participate – all you have to do if you want to take part in this project is to take an old shoe box and fill it with however many dog or cat related goodies you want – anything and everything is needed and welcome, from toys to treats, food, bowls, blankets, tick/flea control, deworming tablets, leads and harnesses… you name it! Once you’ve put your box together, you can wrap it in gift wrapping paper or anything else you have at home, mark if it’s for a cat or a dog (and if it’s a “dog box” – please indicate size I.e. Small, medium or large breed). Then, you can either drop it off at the Practice in Bryanston or any ThinkingPets school nationwide, or you can post it to ThinkingPets by the 30th of November, 2010. We’ll deliver it to the four rescue organizations in time for Christmas. Then, email all your friends and family and encourage them to participate as well. It’s as simple as that! 
Every single contributor – be it an individual or a business – will be listed on our new website and Facebook page as a special thanks for helping to make a difference to the lives of those shelter pets and the people who look after them. We have asked some of our supporting Vets to act as collection points for these shoe boxes or you can drop them at 177 Eccleston Crescent or 33 Devonshire Ave - both in Bryanston. Please also promote the idea to as many of your clients, friends and anyone else you can think of who may be interested.
Let’s make this a Christmas really special for all the shelter & township dogs and cats out there!
Kind regards
