The Midlo Paws for a Cause club will collect donations for the Richmond SPCA.

The Midlothian High School Paws for a Cause Club is running a pet food/supply drive for the Richmond SPCA from Wednesday, April 14 to Friday, April 30.  Some of the supplies can be found around your house, such as a gallon and quart-sized Ziploc bags or Low Sodium Chicken Stock for picky canine eaters.  Other much-needed items for animals in need include Kong and Nylabone toys for dogs, puppy training pads, soft cat toys, unopened dog or cat food, soft training treats for dogs, or unused litter pails with handles for cats.  Be sure to drop off any food donations in the front office for safekeeping.  Let’s collect as much as possible for our local animal shelter and show that Midlo cares!
