BRING A BAG OF DOG FOOD + HELP US FILL THE VAN
If you’re coming to the parade, we’re asking you to bring one more thing: a bag of dog food.
Best Friends Fur Ever will have our van onsite collecting unopened dog food for the BFFE Pet Food Pantry, and we want to see if our community can fill it.
One large bag of dog food can provide roughly a month of meals for an average-sized dog.
Our Pet Food Pantry helps support families experiencing temporary hardship so more dogs can stay fed, at home and with the people who love them.
HELP US KICK OFF THE #MARYLANDDOGFOODCHALLENGE
October 17 will also be the kickoff of our #MarylandDogFoodChallenge ahead of the holidays.
Stop by the BFFE table and grab a donation kit to start a dog food collection at your workplace, school, church, neighborhood or local business.
Collect dog food. Donate it. Then challenge someone else to do the same.
Let’s see how many dog bowls Maryland can fill together.
SHOP PUPPIE LOVE + GIVE BACK
Puppie Love will be joining us with dog-inspired apparel for the humans who love them.
Giving back is part of their mission, too. Puppie Love donates 10% of its net profits to help dogs in need, including local dog rescues.
Stop by, shop and meet the Puppie Love team while you’re there!
