6th Annual APS Blanket and Towel Drive Success

AWLL’s own Steve Graff helps transport some of the bags of towels and blankets collected for our 6th Annual Blanket and Towel drive for APS!

On behalf of A Whole Lotta Love Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, we'd like to thank all who participated in our 6th Annual Blanket and Towel Drive for APS (Animal Protection Society) of Durham! We were able to collect, count and transport 6 bags of items that will bring comfort and warmth this winter to the animals at APS waiting to be adopted into their “forever homes.”

APS happily accepts donations of blankets, towels, linens, dog beds, dog crates, cat carriers, dog and cat collars, leashes, harnesses, brushes and toys (anything that can be washed) all year round! They are located 2117 E. Club Blvd. http://www.apsofdurham.org/

Why You Need a Dog Walker

You are busy!  You work long hours.  You come home from work tired.  And your four-legged best friend is anxiously waiting for you at the door. 

He has been cooped up inside the house for 8+ hours.  He needs exercise to burn off some of that energy.  You feel guilty because you want to sit down and watch T.V., go through the mail, read the newspaper, spend time with your family and/or start dinner.

How would you like to come home and Fido is calmly waiting for you.  He is still happy to see you, but is content to sit at your feet until you are ready to play.

What Fido needs is a mid-day walk!  And A Whole Lotta Love is here to help you!  Try our dog walk service (see our Services and Pricing Page) and see how much happier your pup is when you get home!

Kenneling vs. Staying at Home

Just as with children, not every situation is what’s best for every animal.  Animals feel most comfortable in their own home because they spend a lot of time at home while their owners are at work or out of the house running errands.

Animals do well in their familiar surroundings as long as they have some human interaction, food and water.   They enjoy being in their own bed, playing with their own toys and the scents of home they are accustomed to. 

The only thing that has changed is that their owner is away and someone else is coming in to look in on your pet.

Every pet has its own unique personality.  Only you know if your dog would thrive in a kennel or doggy day-care or in the comforts of their own home.
