We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this screen grab from our annual "shelter pups pick their own holiday toys" video. El picked 3 very specific toys that tell a story, so stay tuned for the full video! Don't forget, today and tomorrow are the last pick-up days for Silent Night in the Shelter fosters! Just show up from 10-6 with valid ID and we'll do the rest to get you set up to give a deserving animal a (temporary) home for the holidays shelter break! Bring your owned pups for a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along!

Lou would love an opportunity to toodle-LOU out of the shelter this holiday season! Sadly, adoptions and fosters have slowed down significantly this year, impacting the life-saving reach we have as an organization. To combat this, we have partnered with BISSELL Pet Foundation for the Holiday Hope event. Adoptions for animals 7+ months and older are just $25 until tomorrow, Dec 17! For animals that didn't find a family, we are starting our Silent Night in the Shelter foster event running Dec 17 - 21. If you don't have room for a permanent family member, please consider a temporary foster for the holidays to give a deserving animal a break from shelter life! Details can be found on the events tab or on our website!

We don’t want to sound like a Baroque-en record, but donations are what keep the Fredericksburg SPCA Van Gough-ing! Thanks to the Monet-tary donations we’ve received during our Not-So-Professional Pet Portrait Giving Tuesday campaign, we can continue to fulfil our mission! But we aren’t finished yet - we’re canvas-ing for new inspiration! With your donation of as little as $20, our not-so-pro artists will use your pet’s photo as a model to create a unique work of art. Your donation goes to an ink-credible cause, and you get a frame-tastic, and possibly even hue-larious portrait of your pet, worthy of hanging in your gallery! Donations of $100+ will receive the original art piece and a magnetic frame! facebook.com/donate/1100631465102474/
