Give a Gift Certificate!

After every holiday shelters fill with animals who were given as gifts – and then casually discarded because the "fit" wasn't quite right.*

There is no bond closer than the one between a happy pet and its owner…and that bond is strongest when they’re allowed to pick each other. No matter how full your heart, you honestly cannot know what will light the spark between your loved one and a pet that could be part of his or her life for many, many years.

A Gift From the Heart gift certificate is your pledge to the recipient that you will cover the cost of adoption of a Shelter animal, and your understanding that only the recipient can recognize "the right one".

As Easy as 1, 2, 3…um, 4

1. CLICK HERE to open a copy of the Gift From the Heart gift certificate in a separate window.
2. Use your mouse to put the cursor in the To line, and type in the name of the person receiving the certificate, then type your own name in the From line. These are the only two lines where you can enter text.
3. Print out the certificate, preferrably to a color printer.
4. Wrap the certificate with a small assortment of pet toys and supplies that the new pet is going to need.

You will want to join the recipient in their happy quest, and we hope you start your adventure at Animal Aid!
