We’re Thankful for the 2025 KDL Pet Calendar Sponsors!

Kent District Library is thrilled to feature the sponsors for its 2025 Pet Calendar: Mitten Animal Clinic, Beer City Dog Biscuits and Pet Supplies Plus locations across West Michigan. These organizations not only support the library's mission but also make significant contributions to the community. Let's take a closer look at each sponsor.

Beer City Dog Biscuits: Empowering Through Treats

Beer City Dog Biscuits is more than just a pet treat company; it's a social enterprise with a heartwarming mission. Founded in Grand Rapids, this organization employs and trains individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, known as Brew Bakers, to create delicious and nutritious dog biscuits. These treats are made from repurposed beer grains donated by local breweries, including Founders Brewing Co.

The impact of Beer City Dog Biscuits extends beyond providing tasty snacks for our furry friends. By offering meaningful employment and vocational training, the organization empowers its Brew Bakers, fostering a sense of community and purpose. Every purchase supports this mission, making a difference in the lives of many.

Mitten Animal Clinic: Caring for Pets Like Family

Located in Grand Rapids, Mitten Animal Clinic is dedicated to providing exceptional veterinary care. Their comprehensive services range from routine wellness exams and vaccinations to dental care and surgical procedures. The clinic's team treats every pet like family, ensuring they receive the best possible care at every stage of life.

Pet Supplies Plus: Your Neighborhood Pet Store

Pet Supplies Plus, with multiple locations across West Michigan, is a beloved destination for pet owners. Known for their wide range of products and services, including grooming, self-serve dog washes and a variety of pet foods and supplies, they strive to meet the needs of every pet and pet owner.

The Kent District Library 2025 Pet Calendar

The KDL Pet Calendar is more than just a collection of adorable pet photos; it's a celebration of the community's love for animals and literacy. Each month features a different pet, chosen through a public voting process, and highlights various KDL programs and events. The calendar is available for free in a branch near you while supplies last. Be sure to grab your calendar and support these wonderful organizations!
