Pets are considered an important part of any family, but this fall, many of then are strays living in animal shelters that could use the community’s support in securing adequate amounts of food, toys and every day living essentials for pets in need.
Eye opening statistics fom the ASPCA reveal that approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized and about twice as many animals enter shelters as strays compared to the number that are relinquished by their owners.
To assist animal shelters that house and support strays, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Knoxville is hosting its annual Movers for Mutts collection drive to provide necessary pet items to animal shelters and stray pets this fall.
This year, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK is partnering with shelters, schools, and businesses from areas surrounding Knox and Blount Counties. These locations will serve as drop off points for essential pet items.
