FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Cumberland County Public Library is participating in the “31 Days of Love” campaign, aimed at enhancing the lives of Cumberland County Animal Services pets. Throughout October, all library locations will accept donations of pet supplies to support this worthy cause.

Items needed include pet food, toys, blankets, newspapers for lining cages, and other essential animal supplies. A detailed wish list can be found on the Animal Services website or on Amazon by searching “Cumberland County Animal Services Wishlist”. Monetary contributions can be made online or delivered directly to Animal Services at 4704 Corporation Dr. in Fayetteville.

In addition to the supply drive, the Library will host pet adoption events to help shelter pets find their forever homes. Mark your calendars for these special adoption programs:

• Oct. 1: 3-5 p.m. – North Regional Library

• Oct. 12: 1-3 p.m. – Hope Mills Community Library
• Oct. 22: 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. – Headquarters Library

Adopting a shelter pet is a wonderful way to make a difference. Visit Cumberland County Animal Services at 4704 Corporation Dr., Fayetteville, or check out adoptable animals online at the Animal Services website at www.cumberlandcountync.gov/departments/animal-services.
