The Ballarat Animal Shelter is calling on the community to make their furry residents holiday season a happy one.
Council’s annual drive is asking for the donation of items to help care for the shelter’s animals, specifically cat and dog food and treats, toys and pre-loved towels or blankets.
A donation drop-off point has been created at the Ballarat Town Hall between office hours Monday to Friday and between 10am and 4pm weekends. Donations can also be left at the shelter off Gillies Street.
The Ballarat Animal Shelter also partners with local not-for-profit agencies, such as the SoupBus, which allows them to also share pet food with people that use their service and have pets, to ensure no animal goes hungry.
Craig Schepis from the SoupBus said they are incredibly grateful for the fabulous support received from the Ballarat Animal Shelter staff.
“Without the support of the shelter many homeless and people in need that attend the SoupBus would not be able to feed their animals,” he said.
Donations will be received until December 21st.
