Michigan: Keegan Hay Company donates straw for owners of outside dogs

MICHIGAN -- Free straw is available at the St. Clair County Sheriff Animal Control for those with outdoor dog houses.

"We are hoping that those who can will bring in their dogs during the extreme cold," said Sheriff Tim Donnellon in a statement. "For those who can't, we are offering free straw to help insulate the dog houses."

The straw is being donated by Keegan Hay Company in Emmett.

“We are very thankful for the generous donation of straw from Keegan Hay,” said Animal Control Office Manager Stephanie Ignash. “We hope that people will take advantage of the opportunity to help keep their dogs a bit more comfortable in this extremely cold weather.”

Those interested in the free straw just have to stop by animal control during business hours.

The office is open from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and from 11:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. Animal control is located at 3378 Griswold Road in Port Huron Township.
