Sudbury Animal Lovers Invited To Share the Holiday Spirit with Homeless Pets

Local animal lovers can share their holiday spirit by donating food, toys and treats for homeless dogs and cats through Best Friends Pet Care’s 13th Annual Animal Angel Tree campaign. All donations will be delivered to area shelter and rescue organizations, including Buddy Dog, Baypath Humane, Northeast Animal Shelter, One Tail at a Time, and Lowell Humane Society. 

In addition to its Sudbury Pet Care Center, Best Friends has locations in Ashland, Boxford, Tyngsboro,  and Wakefield MA. Each Best Friends pet care center has an Animal Angel Tree in its lobby decorated with paper ornaments featuring photos and information about needy dogs and cats. All pets featured on the tree are available for adoption.

Next to the tree is a “wish list” of items needed by the shelters for the animals in its care. Pet lovers are invited to fill those wishes by donating the items, or making a cash contribution to the campaign. Only new, unused items will be accepted.

“Since the Angel Tree program began in 2000, we’ve collected hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of food, toys and pet care supplies for more than 100 different shelters and rescues across the U.S.,” said Robin Williams, director of marketing for Best Friends. “More than 60 shelter and rescue organizations are participating in this year’s program and we know our Angel Tree program will make a difference for many pets in need.” 

Donations to the Animal Angel Tree program will be accepted until New Year’s Day. Visit or call Best Friends at 150 Boston Post Road, Sudbury (978-443-2351).
