Tailsbrwill be waggin' today—February 23 is National Dog Biscuit Day! To celebrate, MuensterbrPet Foods has teamed up with Operation Kindness, North Texas' original andbrlargest no-kill animal shelter. For each dog adoption at Operation KindnessbrThursday, February 23 through Sunday, February 26, or while supplies last,brMuenster will donate a bag of all-natural, freeze-dried dog treats.
“We're abrfourth-generation Texas family business. We live and work here, so it's abrno-brainer that we would also give here,” said Mitch Felderhoff, owner atbrMuenster Pet Foods, in a press release. “We hope by offering treats with eachbradoption made at Operation Kindness that potential adopters will be encouragedbrto celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day with a new furry friend.”
“Thanksbrto the generous support of Muenster Pet Foods, we are able to provide adoptersbra unique incentive to help find forever homes for the more than 50 dogsbrcurrently available for adoption,” said Jim Hanophy, CEO of Operation Kindness.
For dogbrlovers who are not looking to adopt but want to celebrate the special day withbrtheir furry friend, they can treat themselves by creating their own healthy dogbrtreats at home with Muenster's recipe for homemade grain-free and gluten-freebrdog biscuits.
