Wish List trees and a special half-off price on adoptions are all part of the holidays for the animals at the Quad City Animal Welfare Center.
The wish list trees are on display through Christmas at SouthPark and NorthPark malls, where shoppers can select an ornament with a wish list item printed on it. Then the shopper buys the item and donates it to the shelter to help homeless animals.
The NorthPark Mall wish list tree is in the mall entrance by JCPenney and Hair by Stewarts. The SouthPark Mall wish list tree is located in the corridor outside of Dillard's.
Wish list items include litter, collars, leashes, cleaning supplies, paper, office supplies and gift cards to local retailers (detailed list below).
The shelter will also offer half off adult cat and dog adoption fees on Black Friday, November 27, and on Saturday, November 28, 2015. Any cat or dog 6 months or older qualifies for the promotion, which discounts the regular adoption fees - $100 for dogs and $40 for cats - to $50 for dogs and $20 for cats.
Quad City Animal Welfare Center is at 724 West 2nd Avenue in Milan, Illinois. Their phone number is (309) 787-6830; and they're on Facebook - click here.
