That is certainly NOT the case at our local shelter. It is a branch of Animal Rescue League of Boston. They are welcoming of any and all gifts, including toys, treats (even rawhide, preferably pressed) blankets, etc. We are having a Xmas party for the "guests," on Xmas Eve, and I've been shopping all day for treats, etc. Please see my last post on the following thread. I can't believe your shelter would turn away your good will!

"Some good news though. Our local shelter has only 7 doggie guests this Xmas (max. is 40!) no kittens and only 2 adult kitties. We are having a Xmas party for the "guests" on Xmas Eve and I've been shopping all day for the event. I even made little Xmas bandanas for all of the "guests." Still, it will be bitter- sweet."
