The donated products (dog treats) were/are being given to our rescued dogs and we provide a package with any adopted dog. This makes the adopter aware of your products and treats that the dogs enjoy. We are a small group and getting quality, nutritious treats that the dogs enjoy is a blessing. Giving them the treats helps to distract them from the confines of a rescue kennel situation. They really enjoy your gift.

We have Champ who was on a euthanasia list at another large shelter. We transferred him in because he appeared to be a dog who could be adopted and he was only 12 months old. Upon arrival, he was either very antisocial or trying to escape the kennels, jumping, and barking. When our volunteers entered the kennel, we gave him one of your treats every time. He became more social and enjoyed seeing his humans. He is now closer to being adopted and has calmed down some. Meet Champ: https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/34561644
