Me next to the Charlie Brown-esque tree

The female staff also says we can only have a tiny little fake Christmas tree because of all three kids in the house (meaning the Tail-Pulling Creature, Pugsley and me). I guess she thinks we’re going to get ourselves into trouble with something larger.

There are a lot of amazing programs happening during the holidays to support shelters. One program that is easy for anyone to participate in is the Bring Pets Home “Shop to Help Shelters” program.

Bring Pets Home has partnered with some major retailers like Walmart, Sephora, Macys, Amazon, Nordstrom and many more, who have agreed to donate a portion of any sale made that comes through the Bring Pets Home web site to the Bring Pets Home Foundation which helps shelters across the United States.

This seems like a no brainer to me. If you’re shopping online, you might as well click on over to the Bring Pets Home holiday shopping portal and conduct your shopping from there. Anywhere from 1-6% of your purchase will go to help pets. As I always say, every dollar counts!

AND Bring Pets Home is also conducting a sweepstakes where you could win $5,000 for yourself AND $5,000 for the shelter of your choice. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

Remember, you have to click to the retailer’s site from the Bring Pets Home site in order for it to count.

Happy Holidays! (and don’t eat any fake garland….)
