What is Collars For A Cause?
The 2010 Collars For A Cause campaign is presented by GRUFFINS organic dog treats, K9's For Cops, and Digital Function. The goal is the collection of 229 creative and unique dog and cat collars including one-of-a-kind creations from artists, designers, and celebrities. The number 229 represents the number of dogs and cats euthanized daily in the greater Houston, TX area as a result of animal overpopulation.
