Auction for the ­Animals

Christmas comes in November for the home-seeking animals of the SPCA of Anne Arundel County.    
    Or will, if you’ll play Santa. It’s a job you won’t regret. Accept it, and you’ll do your holiday shopping early and easy.
    Through Nov. 23, the First Annual Auction for the Animals invites you to shop online for gifts for your animals and animal-loving friends. You’ll find animal-themed art, jewelry, gift baskets, gift cards and pet supplies.
    All the goods are donated, so all funds raised directly support the SPCA’s mission. That, says organizer Rita Melvin, is “to compassionately connect people and pets through sheltering, adoptions, cruelty prevention, low-cost spay/neuter and humane education.”
