them for causes that are worthy of support. In fairness, however, when considering a donation, we look at the event date, number of donations we have already committed to make within the month and when we were contacted. We also vary donations and generally do not donate to the same organizations in successive years.

Please mail your request to us using your organization's letterhead with the date and nature of the event, a contact person and daytime phone number and/or e-mail address. Last minute donation requests are more difficult for us to accept, therefore we strongly encourage you to make your request at least 3 months in advance. You will be contacted if your donation request will be filled.

PLEASE NOTE: We are currently booked for donations through August 2013. Please do not submit requests for donations needed prior to this date. Thank you.

In addition to our commitment to community donations, we donate a portion of our dog bone sales every month to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. We also find fun and creative ways throughout the year to run in-store promotions to raise funds for worthy causes, such as Second Harvest Food Bank, UNICEF and the AVON Breast Cancer Crusade, to name a few, and support community events, such as Jill's Ride for Hope, the Los Gatos – Monte Sereno Police Department's annual "Taste of Los Gatos" fundraiser and the EHC LifeBuilder's "Rivers of Chocolate" fundraiser in Saratoga.
