Local chapter update: Send us your holiday pet pictures!

Alright everyone, let’s start the new year on the right foot and get down to brass tacks: Send us pictures of your cutest pets in their most adorable attire.

That’s right: We want cats, bunnies, dogs, hamsters, naked mole rats (though preferably fewer of these than the others), chinchillas, and any other fury companions you may have in store. Let’s start 2025 on a high note and with a fuzzy smile.

Please send your pet snapshots to us at info@acdis.org. Received pictures will be featured in one of our upcoming editions of CDI Strategies in 2025.
