Pet Lovers Weekend

Home Craft Country Store on 179 Boston Post Road in East Lyme is partnering with Animal Welfare League of New London County to have a Pet Lovers Weekend December 15 & 16.


With every donation of cat or dog food (wet and dry), treats, toys, accessories and/or bedding given Home Craft Country Store will give donors a country themed candle holder. And, all donations received that weekend will help New London and Montville pound animals who are without their homes and families!


AWL volunteers will welcome folks to this unique country store during their weekend hours of Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. We are planning a few surprises in keeping with the season: pet goodies in a surprise grab-a-bag for $1.00 donation; a visit from Santa’s little helpers, Jasmine Joy and Saving Grace, AWL‘s beautiful Ambassa-dogs; and, meet a local cat rescue with Christmas kitties in need of furr-ever homes this holiday.
