Buffalo Grove police collecting pet supplies to support A Safe Place

The Buffalo Grove Police Department is collecting pet supplies this month to support A Safe Place domestic violence shelter.

A Safe Place recently expanded its services to provide a dedicated space for pets while survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking transition to new housing. The police department is collecting essential pet items to help the comfort and care of pets while their owners seek refuge.

Items being accepted include: cat litter; dog and cat food; dog and cat toys; leashes; collars; bedding; grooming supplies; potty pads; treats; and waste bags. Items must be new and unopened.

Donations can be dropped off 24 hours a day in the police department lobby, 46 Raupp Blvd., Buffalo Grove.
