For the ♥ of seniors

Jake ‘n Max’s Boxes of Love began as a tribute to the endless unwavering love of two beloved senior dogs. The annual pet supply drive (mid-January to mid-February) accepts donations that sweet oldsters seeking forever homes need and deserve. Rescues devoted to older animals are typically stretched thin by the cost of veterinary care, and rely heavily on donations. Cushy beds, soft chew toys, comfortable walking gear and healthy supplements are just some of the items that can help make the lives of these faithful friends cozier and filled with love. 

Approaching its 4th year, Jake ‘n Max’s Boxes of Love partners with local businesses who act as donation sites, with cheerily-decorated boxes ready and waiting to be filled. 

This year's beneficiaries are My Way Home Dog Rescue and Animal Aid.

Current donation sites for 2016 include The City of Portland Building and the following locations:

Fang & Feather * 1926 N Kilpatrick, Portland, OR

Meat for Cats & Dogs * 2244 E Burnside, Portland, OR

Salty's Pet Supply * 4039 N Mississippi, #104, Portland, OR

The drive culminates with a Senior Love Adoption event on Sunday, Feb. 14 from noon-3pm at Salty's Pet Supply in Portland, OR.  Get to know the great people of the rescue groups that the Jake 'n Max Boxes of Love helps. You can also meet (and maybe fall in love) with a few of the adoptables from My Way Home Dog Rescue and there are a couple cute raffle baskets chock full of adorable items.  Salty's Pet Supply will be celebrating their 11th anniversary at the event also with goodie bags and treats.  10% of all sales during the event will be donated to the rescues!  As a special bonus, anyone who spends $40 or more will receive a free engraved pet tag while supplies last.  It'll be an afternoon of Love.

If your place of business would LOVE to participate or get involved with next year's Jake 'n Max's Boxes of Love (the 5th Annual!), please email vonnie@spotmagazine.net.
