This holiday season, in the spirit of giving, we at the Law Offices of Tony J. Tyre, Esq., APC are delighted to be hosting a fundraiser and pet supply drive for Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, which serves cities and unincorporated areas across the San Gabriel Valley.

Each year, over six million animals enter shelters nationwide, leaving many of these shelters filled beyond their capacity. Last year, County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) centers alone took in approximately 27,000 animals, more than half of which were successfully adopted out. DACC centers share a common mission of “Socially Conscious Animal Sheltering,” which strives to both maximize live outcomes for animals and balance animal comfort with public safety. As part of their commitment to Socially Conscious Animal Sheltering, Baldwin Park Animal Care Center will never turn away an animal in need.

Between December 15, 2022 and January 31, 2023, anyone wishing to participate in the pet supply drive may drop off the following items at 100 S Citrus Ave., Suite 101, Covina, CA:

• • • New or gently used blankets (throw size) no strings preferred to avoid choking hazards
    • New or gently used towels of all sizes
    • Powder milk replacement for kittens
    • Powder milk replacement for puppies
    • Plastic bottles for milk
    • Heating pads (used for puppies, kittens, seniors and medical animals)
    • Milkbone brand treats for dogs of all sizes
    • Treats for cats
    • Kongs of all sizes
    • Peanut butter (for kongs)
    • Cheez whiz cans (for kongs)
    • Puppy pad liners
    • Poop bags
    • New or gently used dog and cat sweaters all sizes
    • Elevated dog beds (fundraiser)

In addition to the above items, we will be accepting monetary donations to raise funds to purchase elevated dog beds. Baldwin Park Animal Care Center is currently in great need of these beds to help keep the animals off the ground in both the hot and cold months. Each bed costs between $27.00 and $33.00, and we are hoping to purchase as many as possible. If you would like to donate to our elevated dog bed fund, then please drop off or mail a check made payable to Tony J. Tyre, Esq., APC, and in the memo section, please notate that the check is for the “Baldwin Park animal fundraiser.” At the end of the fundraiser period, we will purchase the elevated beds and deliver them to Baldwin Park ACC. Regular updates on the fundraiser progress will posted on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/people/Law-Offices-of-Tony-J-Tyre-Esq-Covina/100027942684929/. Photos and videos of the drop-off and delivery to Baldwin Park ACC will be posted on our Facebook page as well.

We hope you will join us in bringing warmth and comfort to shelter animals in need.
