I am donating 25 toys to kick it off! Please see the post below on how to donate. Let's give some shelter pets holiday joy!

🎄🐶 3rd Annual Bark the Halls: Toy & Treat Drive (and Blankets!)! 🐱🎁

It’s that time of year again — let’s make the holidays a little brighter for the animals who need us most.

I’m collecting toys and treats for the dogs at the Pet Resource Center in Brandon, FL, where 300 dogs are in the shelter at any given time and more than 15,000 pets come through each year. These pups deserve some holiday magic, and we can give it to them. ✨🎁

I’m also partnering with Beach Paws Dog Rescue , who is collecting cat toys and blankets! 🐾💙

📅 We’re collecting now through December 17.

🛒 Cat and Blankets Amazon Wishlist (Beach Paws): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2R4TRR2E99GS7?ref_=wl_share

We’ll be throwing a little holiday party for the pups and will post videos of them picking out their toys.❤️

Please share to help spread the word. Together, we can make sure every pet feels the love this holiday season. 🎄❤️🐶🐱 Please note if we get more toys than PRC can store we'll take them to other county shelters like Hernando.

These types of flyers can literally mean life or death. It is so important to have clear, easy to read flyers that people can read from the streets while driving.

🚨 NEW Lost Dog Flyer Template – Now on Etsy! 🚨

If you ever find yourself searching for a lost pet—or helping someone else who is—having a clear, eye-catching flyer can make ALL the difference.

As many of you know, I trap lost dogs all over the Tampa Bay area. One of the biggest things that helps us bring these dogs home is accurate sightings—and that starts with a clear, easy-to-read flyer that people will actually notice.

That’s why I made this Lost Dog Flyer Template on Etsy. It’s super simple to edit in Canva, and it’s designed to stand out while people are driving by.

🎄🐾 ELF APPROVAL: DENIED! 🐾🎄
The elves checked the list twice… and guess what? Dogs are NOT on the “giftable items” list. 😉

This is your friendly holiday reminder:
✨ Dogs aren’t presents. They are lifelong commitments.
✨ They’re family.
✨ Pets aren’t presents — they’re promises.
✨ Love them for life, not for the season.

If you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your home, adopt thoughtfully — not impulsively. ❤️🐶

Share this to spread the message! 🎅✨

🚨✨ BELLE NEEDS A HOME — PLEASE HELP THIS POST GO VIRAL ✨🚨

Belle is a 40-lb sweetheart who has been waiting way too long for her forever family. She’s gentle, goofy, great with kids, good with medium/large dogs, and just wants someone to love her.

I’m begging for help on this one —
Please share Belle. Share her everywhere. Share her to groups, friends, anywhere a family might see her.
Your one share could be the reason she finally gets a home.

🐾 Gobble for Good: Dog Food Drive 🧡

This Thanksgiving season, we’re giving back to the rescues who never hesitate to step up for dogs from our area — even when their kennels are full and funds are stretched thin.

These incredible rescues have taken in 35 dogs from us this year, and now it’s our turn to help fill their food bowls. 🍗 Now we’re launching our Gobble for Good Dog Food Drive to help restock their shelves and show our gratitude for all they’ve done.

Our goal is 10 bags of food per rescue. Each rescue has its own wishlist so food can be shipped directly to them:

📍 Mercy Full Project: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23QUTRO7PZ0VP?ref_=wl_share

📍 Polk County Bully Project: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MRUAOIFNSGN4?ref_=wl_share

📍 Beach Paws Dog Rescue : https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/183GLZEUZ696Y?ref_=wl_share

📍 Stranger Days Street Dog Rescue Corp.: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2T7WSSRQ90KC9?ref_=wl_share

📍 Love4Paws: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1YLG8YI99UMB7?ref_=wl_share

📍 Animalluvr's Dream Rescue: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/PTKE4C1FBJ7F?ref_=wl_share

📍 Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EHLLQP18808R?ref_=wl_share

Let’s make sure every rescue pup has a full bowl this season. 🐾🧡 We will be running this drive till November 21st.
