Staff at the Brampton Animal Services shelter are asking pet lovers for donations of items to help give animals the care they need.<\/p>\n
In a post on social media, Brampton Animal Services says it has run out of bath- and beach-sized towels and is asking residents for help.<\/p>\n
While something as simple as a towel may seem mundane, the shelter says soft linens are important to make animals feel safe and secure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese towels are essential for helping us provide comfort and care to animals in need,\u201d the animal shelter says. \u201cEvery single towel makes a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brampton Animal Services says the shelter is also accepting face cloths, Churu lickable cat treats and dry cat food for the Pet Food Pantry.<\/p>\n
Donations can be dropped off at the shelter on Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or left outside the front of the shelter after hours, Brampton Animal Services says.<\/p>\n
