Buffalo Grove police holding pet supply drive for A Safe Place

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

A Safe Place has 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 accepted include: cat litter; dog/cat food; dog/cat toys; collars; leashes/harnesses; bedding; grooming supplies; potty pads; treats; and waste bags.

Donated items must be new and unopened and can be dropped off 24 hours a day in the lobby of the police department, 46 Raupp Blvd. For more information, contact the department's Social Services Division at (847) 777-6210 or PDSocialServices@vbg.org.
