Pet Food is Piling Up!
Official
clinic greeter Kitty Moe enjoys perching on the pet food!
It's only been one week since we announced that we would again be
collecting pet food for the Valley Outreach Food Shelf, and already our
consultation room has more than 300 pounds stacked in a rapidly-overflowing
corner. Thank you so much for your generosity! Dr. Baillie
reports that, after the Pioneer Press picked up our announcement on March 8,
calls and drop-ins began to increase from all over the east metro.
"Bags of dog and cat food are coming in, and some bird food as well",
said Dr. Baillie. "At this rate, we'll have to make two trips to the
food shelf. Last year's total was 650 pounds of food, and it looks like
we'll exceed that this year." The clinic will accept donations
through the end of March FoodShare month; any brand, any size, for any
kind of pet.
