Deck the Homes to Find
Fur-ever Homes

This holiday season, our community is lighting up more than just the streets. They’re lighting the way for pets in need!

🏡Circle of Friends Animal Shelter has partnered with
Jerry Waletzko at Crary Real Estate and Blue Moose Bar & Grill to bring you Deck the Homes to Find Fur-ever Homes, a friendly house-decorating competition where every twinkling light and festive display helps homeless pets find their Fur-Ever Homes.

Here’s how it works:
🎄 View our Facebook Album to view the decorated homes on our list at:

🎄 Pick your favorite!
🎄 Make a donation below then enter the address of your favorite on the last page at checkout.

Every dollar you give goes directly to Circle of Friends to provide food, shelter, and medical care for the pets who need it most. 🐶🐱 In addition, Shawn Horn and Crary Real Estate are adding $500 each to match funds raised through voting!

Voting will be held from December 12th, 2025 through January 6th, 2026.

The home with the most donations will win the title of Holiday Home Champion and the top three fundraising home decorators will share in a total of $600 in awards from Mr. Waletzko — but the real winners are the pets your donations help! 💖
