Every day an animal is kenneled is a day enrichment is needed. It plays a vital role in combating the negative effects of long term kenneling by helping to relieve boredom and stress and makes a major difference in a shelter animal’s daily life and adoptability. Best of all, most of the supplies needed to make enrichment can be found right in your recycle bins! Recyclables Commonly Used: Empty light cardboard boxes (i.e. cereal, tissue, snacks, pasta, frozen pizza, etc.) Cardboard shipping boxes Empty plastic food storage containers with lids (i.e. – large yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, Chinese food/takeout) Empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls Plastic drink cups Empty plastic drinking water bottles Empty gallon or half gallon milk or juice jugs Old bed linens, bath and kitchen towels Old fleece or flannel blankets Old tube socks, t-shirts, flannel clothing Paper grocery bags Wish List: Black Kongs or any treat distribution stick or ball, etc. (large/extra large are most needed) PVC pipes and/or joints and end caps that screw on and off (any length/2 inch diameter or larger) Spray bottles (if used – non chemical) Low sodium beef, chicken, vegetable broth or bullion cubes Packing Tape Plastic mixing bowls / durable plastic food storage containers with lids (i.e. Rubbermaid/Tupperware) Rawhide chews, bones, sticks, marrow bones, etc. Peanut butter Can dog food Toys (plush, rope, squeaky, etc.) Soft dog treats (liver, bacon, etc.) Canister of oatmeal oats Brown paper school lunch bags Items/donations can be dropped off at Charleston Animal Society on Remount Road, North Charleston or contact me and if its local I can pick it up and deliver it for you.
