Twin Cities Humane Society needs newspapers for critters' kennels

One critter's brainfood can be another creature's comfort.

At the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, kittens doze on blankets and unfolded newspapers. Puppies circle on beds of shredded broadsheets.

But the group's store of newspapers is almost exhausted. The organization is requesting newspaper donations to all three of its adoption centers, including Coon Rapids and Woodbury, to offset a slump in donations.

"We definitely have been using a lot of newspaper," public relations strategist Brittany Baumann said. "But the amount and the volume at which it's actually coming to us onsite has just significantly decreased."

Lining kennel floors with newspaper allows volunteers and staff to clean kennels quickly, said Naomi Main, operations supervisor at the organization's Golden Valley adoption center, and puppies can dig and play in shredded newsprint.

Newspapers can be dropped off at the group's adoption centers:

Golden Valley, 845 Meadow Lane N.
Coon Rapids, 1411 Main St. NW.
Woodbury, 9785 Hudson Road

I wish they had published it a day earlier, before I put two grocery bags full of newspapers in be recycled.

Will take them next to the Society
