The San Diego Humane Society's Holiday Gift Guide

2012 CALENDAR OF PETS--$12.00 plus tax
Give the gift of the most adored - and most adorable - companion animals in San Diego and beyond. The San Diego Humane Society's 2012 calendar makes a great gift that lasts all year long.

POUR IT FORWARD - A WINE PURCHASE THAT BENEFITS THE ANIMALS--prices and packages $25-$100
In association with Cru Vin Dogs Wine Group, the San Diego Humane Society is offering a special opportunity to purchase wine that benefits the animals. With your purchase, $1 of every bottle of THE LOYAL COMPANION (TLC) wines will benefit the animals. Upon purchase, enter the code "CASDHS" to direct your donation to animals at the San Diego Humane Society. Buy a bottle (or several) of TLC Chardonnay or TLC Red Blend to enjoy this holiday season and "Give the Gift the Gives Back"!

GIVE THE GIFT OF AN ANIMAL COMPANION--$50-$180
While surprising a loved one with an animal companion for the holidays is a nice idea, it's not the most practical. Adding an animal to your family is a big responsibility and a life-long commitment, so it's important that your loved one is ready. Also, part of the joy of choosing an animal companion is finding the one that is the perfect match for you! A great alternative is to give an animal adoption gift certificate for the amount of the adoption fee so your loved one can come back when the time is right. Gift certificates can be purchased at the San Diego Humane Society's on-site retail store, Muttique, at both Central and North Campuses.

PURCHASE A CELEBRATION TAG--$100
Memorialize and pay tribute to individuals and the pets that have made a difference in their lives. Your inscribed tag will be placed on a special dog or cat sculpture at the main entrance of the San Diego Humane Society. Messages on the sculptures can vary and are personalized. With a donation of $100 or more, your unique message will be engraved on a tag, which will be proudly displayed on the pet sculpture of your choice.

GIVE A SPECIAL ANIMAL TRIBUTE --$20, $50, $100
Celebrate the special people or animals in your life with the purr-fect gift. Make a donation on behalf of a loved one this holiday season-or for any event or occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, memorial, or other milestone-and your gift will make a lasting and unique impression...all while supporting the animals. And now your gift will go even further! Through the end of the year, all donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000.
