Black Friday… Shop Local Saturday… Bring your holiday weekend guests to Animal Connection for the most fun toys, treats, dog wear and gear in Virginia! Served up with a big dose of Southern hospitality!!

11/26/2024

Such a privilege to be able to help our community. We helped distribute over 2,000 coats, sweaters, gloves and under layers to over 130 guests who came to get clothes and a hot breakfast. Additional clothing was provided by funds raised at bingo nights. You'll see all the participants in the post below.
It is humbling to speak to those who are housing challenged. Everyone I visited with that day was positive, felt blessed and thankful for the necessities of life. I'm encouraging all to get out in the community and do something to make your world better. Even one small thing can make a big difference.

There's not enough "internet" to show all the Santa photos from Nov.16 sessions with Michael Tietgen Photography and truthfully, we didn't want to reveal them all since they'll be used for Christmas cards.

If you missed it, we'll be partnering with Michael again in February for Valentine'd Day photos! Stay tuned!
