Over the holidays, Barkefellers participated in a donation drive to help the
Southside Animal Shelter. We decided on this shelter because they are a no-kill shelter, so the animals could potentially spend a long time there before being adopted.
We were extremely impressed with how generous our customers were! Every day we were adding to our pile in the lobby. Some larger items even had to be placed in a back room. Among these donations were dog and cat food, cat litter, medicines, blankets, beds, cat towers, toys, leashes, collars, shampoo, cleaning products, flea treatments, and even many monetary donations. We had customers come in with their arms full of gently used or store bought items.

| Our lobby, full of donations! |

| You can just barely see the original "donation box" hidden behind all of the donations! |
It's safe to say that we quickly outgrew our "donation box" and the entire lobby became our donation place.
Rick, the owner of Barkefellers, also agreed to match the donations with a check to Southside Animal Shelter.
This is something we plan on doing every year. Being a business that is so involved with animals, it's nice to help these less fortunate furbabies. Our entire staff was beaming with the overwhelming success this year!
