Help Homeless Pets: Pet Toy Drive At Two Bostons Pet Boutique

Give a little happiness to a shelter pet's life by donating a gently used pet toy.

BURR RIDGE, IL – Pet owners and their pets are encouraged to dig through their toy boxes to find gently used toys to share with pets in need. Two Bostons, the local and independently owned business is holding its annual popular Toy Buy Back drive and offering pet owners $5 off a purchase of a new toy when donating a toy to a less fortunate pet. Two Bostons donates the collected toys to The Humane Society.

The Toy Buy Back event is expected to give a little happiness to over 100 local pets and goes until May 21. Toys should be washed, clean and in good condition.

“Pets waiting for their forever homes get a ‘new-to-them’ toy to play or snuggle with, and pet owners get a discount on a new toy to give to their own pet,” said AdreAnne Tesene, co-owner of the four local pet supply stores in a press release.
