Our company motto, DogToys.com: Because Every Dog Needs Dog Toys, has an even deeper meaning when you apply it to our Toys for Pets Program.

DogToys.com is going into its 15th holiday season and since the beginning we have offered our customers the opportunity to help dogs waiting in shelters and rescues across the country get toys and treats. For many of these dogs they have never had a toy before the box from DogToys.com arrives at the shelters door.

We now offer you several choices in our Toys for Pets Program. You can simply add a single toy or treat to your order and we pull the item aside and send it out with our regular shipments or you can send a gift pack to any shelter of your choosing.  The gift packs are at a greatly reduced price over regular retail (but of course you can still send your shelter any of our items through out the store). Due to the reduce prices we do ask for shipping charges on the items going to your shelters, but we do not add any additional shipping on your order if you add one of the single donation items (we take care of the shipping on those items).

While the holidays do offer the greatest gift giving opportunities, our Toys for Pets Program is running year round!

If you know a shelter or a rescue group that could benefit from our program please have them stop by our website for more information and an application.

Here are just some of the shelters we have sent toys and treats to in the past few weeks. Thank you for helping us to help them.

Thanks to everyone who donated for making the lives of these animals a little brighter until they find that forever home.

FreeKibble.com is a great way you can help feed homeless on a daily basis with just a click of your mouse.

All you have to do is answer the fun trivia question and no matter whether you get it right or you get it wrong, you have just donated 10 pieces of kibble to shelters.

Today FreeKibble.com is donating all the food they raise to two shelters in areas that were recently hit hard by hurricane Irene.

These much deserving shelters are Central Vermont Humane Society (http://cvhumane.com/) and the Fayetteville, NC Animal Protection Society ((http://www.fapspet.org/). This food will help them continue to support those effected by Irene.

So please take a minute out of your day today to help them reach today’s goal of 10,000 meals or 1 million pieces of kibble. Simply go to http://freekibble.com/ and answer the question on the home page. If you like you can also head to FreeKibbleKat.com and try your hand at the cat question to donate another 10 pieces of kibble.

While they have a big goal set for themselves for today, please remember you can donate kibble EVERY day simply by playing their trivia game.

Every month time we send out donations it brings a smile to our faces knowing we are sending toys to dogs and cats that really need them. For some it may even be their first experience with toys! If you would like to donate a toy or two please stop by our site and make a donation today.

The following Toys For Pets donations are made possible by our wonderful customers like you!

Thanks once again to all our wonderful and giving customers!

We just wanted to share with you another one of the wonderfully heartwarming foster stories we have been receiving through our dog foster survey.

Rainbow was rescued from a puppymill with 27 fractures in her back and a disintegrating spine. She was paralyzed, yet still being forced to breed despite being in tremendous pain. People all over the world contributed money for her vet care and prayed for her recovery. In the care of Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas (www.ddrtx.org) Rainbow made a miraculous recovery and now feels and acts like a typical dog. Watching Rainbow and helping her recover was an amazing foster experience.
