For a small donation, you can help a Detroit shelter dog celebrate New Year's Eve with a special treat.

A $5 donation will get a Kong toy that will be filled with treats and given to pups at Detroit Dog Rescue. The Peppler Agency in Harper Woods will be matching donations.

The rescue said chewing on the Kongs provides a distraction from the fireworks and gunshots that will be going off around the shelter for the holiday.
