Thank you for considering to donate to Project: Troop Dogs.
Here are the items that would be most helpful to the Troop Dog Teams. We ask that all items be new, unless noted. We encourage you to include a note to the team, including your email address. Most of the dog items can be found at Animal Crackers in Voorhees, see address below.

UPDATE 5/22: OUR #1 NEED is families to sponsor care packages.
We are in great need of mailing funds. You can help by sponsoring a care package. A care package sponsor pays for the shipping of the care package. To sponsor 2 care packages is $25, 4 is $50 and 8 is $100. We will enclose your name and any contact information in your sponsored care package(s) with a note letting the MWD Team know that it was your family who sponsored his/her care package. To sponsor a care package please send a check to the address below with your families’ information and any contact information you would like to be sent to the MWD Team.
UPDATE: 5/22: Summer items. We are stocking up on Summer items like sun screen, socks, lipbalm, hand lotion and dog boots (see below for brand and link). Other items needed: Retractable leashes (26ft with tape leash, not cord) Dog Treats, Kong toys, collapsible dog bowls, microwave foods(popcorn, mac and cheese), gum, peanut butter and hand sanitizer. Travel size items are always welcome because they are easy to carry.
Monetary donations pay for the mailing costs and to provide additional items to fill boxes. Your tax-deductible donation check can be made out to: ADOPT and given at the drop off locations or sent to Susan Engel 306 Bedbug Hill Rd Southampton, NJ 08088.

SAMPLES: We love samples and are in great need of samples! Many businesses and professional offices, like Doctors, Dentists, Dermatologists, Avon Reps etc.receive free sample from companies. In the past, these types of offices have been thrilled to donate their extra samples to Project: Troop Dogs. We would be happy to have a Troop Dog Angel pick up from any office who is willing to donate to us. Please think about asking a business to donate their free samples.
