Our annual Angel Tree Drive has officially kicked off again! For the past two years, Intown Healthy Hound in Grant Park has graciously sponsored our tree and will do so again this year.

Dog City II in Sandy Springs will also be hosting a tree, which we set up today (pictured). Thanks so much to Olive and Lily, owner Marcia’s insanely-adorable Boston Terrier rescues, for helping us get the job done!

We will begin posting each rescue dog and his/her needs once or a twice a day between now and the “Santa pickups” near Christmas. If you live in the Atlanta area, you can pop into either store and purchase the goodies for that specific dog or any other dog on the tree. Some dogs have very specific needs; some more generic. But, of course, all of the dogs love treats, toys and food. You can leave the item(s) at the store, plus a note for that dog (if you’d like), and Team Russell will pick them up in time for a Santa delivery.

If you don’t live in the Atlanta area, but would like to send a gift to a rescue angel, you will be able to do so via our Amazon Wish List.

Thanks so much to these two amazing stores, who have been so good to us over the years and months. Let’s return their generosity by patronizing their stores and supporting our local businesses who give back to the community.
