Black Dog Salvage Holiday Gift Guide: For Animal Lovers

2011 Roanoke Valley SPCA Pet Calendars are here!
Only $20 (including tax).
Available for sale here at Black Dog Salvage.

Filled with photos of adorable local pets and heartwarming quotes, these make great gifts for the holiday season - hostess gifts, teacher gifts, or for any animal lover!

All proceeds go to support programs and services provided by the Roanoke Valley SPCA.

The Pet Calendar is a major fundraiser for the RVSPCA, providing the funds necessary for food, shelter, medical care and TLC for the thousands of homeless and unwanted animals who call our shelter "home" while they wait for a new family to find them.

As you may have guessed from our namesake, we love dogs!

All animals, in fact. In honor of the animal lovers on your list, here are some gift ideas:

Roanoke Dog Park Bricks - $100 text only, $150 with logo

Show your support for Roanoke’s public dog park by purchasing a
commemorative brick this holiday season in honor of a beloved pet or person. Proceeds from brick sales will fund future construction at the dog park, including additional benches and landscaping, walking paths, an informational kiosk and paved parking.

"Sally" Books by Stephen Huneck
