Local farm supply retailer Southern States Cooperative is raising money to help animals in the fight against hunger during the holidays.

The company is holding a Puppy Paw Donation Drive to raise funds for local animal shelters in need. Beginning Nov. 20, customers can purchase a paper puppy paw emblem for $1 that the company will be display in stores. Southern States will use 100 percent of the proceeds to purchase and deliver pet food to local shelters in need in the store’s area.

“The work that animal shelters perform on a daily basis has saved the lives of countless pets, and will continue to do so as long as we continue to support them,” said Southern States spokesperson Chris Carter. “We want to help out the organizations who have dedicated their lives to help unwanted and abandoned pets have a safe, warm home of their own.”

The animal food drive will run through Dec. 10. Donations may be made at any local Southern States store. For details, visit www.southernstates.com/puppypaw.
