How A Local Program Keeps Pets Warm This Winter in Kalamazoo
When the temperature drops, not every pet has a safe place to go. This program is here to make sure none of our four-legged neighbors are left out in the cold.
Animal lovers of Southwest Michigan, listen up. If you see a dog in your neighborhood that's left out in the cold without proper shelter or food and water, the SPCA of Southwest Michigan would like to help with their program called Cold Noses, Warm Hearts.
Our Cold Noses, Warm Hearts program is built on a simple belief: every animal deserves warmth, safety, and love—no matter where they come from. Through this program, the SPCA of Southwest Michigan provides essential outreach and support to pets and families in need throughout our community.
