A GREAT Day @ Seckman Middle School 3/13/13

Words cannot express how touched I was by the kindness of the students and faculty at Seckman Middle School today. What an amazing group of teaches and kids!! They had a little fashion show/pet parade with some of their own pets. Dogs, chinchillas, lizards and a GOAT!! They have been collecting food and donations for the last couple of months and presented the food and a *big check* to me at a special assembly. THANK YOU Seckman and Dot Lindhurst for organizing this very unique and fun event!! ~Debby 

2012 Figures are FINALLY finished !!

I have been so busy, but want to let all of the people who have donated food and money to know what we are doing. This the total of what we did this year compared to last year:

                                          2012                   2011

Dry Dog Food                2,426 lbs              520 lbs       +1906 lbs

Canned Dog Food          417 cans               73 cans     +344 cans

Dry Cat Food                 358 lbs                 238 lbs       +120 lbs

Canned Cat Food           628 cans              240 cans     +388 cans

We have assisted in 3 dogs spay/neutered and vetting. Given away crates, leashes, collars, wormer and  shampoo. Rabbit, gerbil and various other pet food. Donated $50 towards helping some starving horses (we are not equipped to feed livestock). Donated 100 plus cans of dog/cat food and countless treats to JCAC.
We also, started the Claudius Cares Fund to assist people with spay/neuter and those who have terminally ill or senior pets that they can not afford to have humanly euthanized.

As you can see, we have doubled and even tripled some of our numbers from last year !! Without your continued support, none of this could happen.

Just want to give a special THANK YOU to:

PetCo Arnold: You guys are so easy to work with and I appreciate your support!!

Bi-State Pet Food Pantry: For always being there and helping a sister out in need!!

Aubrey Costello-Warden: For being my ROCK and always helping me load all of this food!!

Sandy Pourcillie: For making the Claudius Cares Fund happen!!

...and each and everyone one who has donated food or money to help me help those less fortunate than us keep their pets safe at home and well fed. xoxoxox

A Most Unexpected Thanksgiving Gift.

I spent Thanksgiving at my sister’s house. When I arrived, she informed me there was a card that had been left for the Pantry from a dear old friend she had seen a few days prior. On the card was a drawing of a pit-bull with a beautiful message, even more beautiful was the tear jerking note hand written inside along with a VERY generous donation. 

Because of this kind donation, I am able to make another dream come true..I am starting a fund in conjunction with the pet food pantry called Claudius Cares Fund (in memory of the donators dearly departed dog). Claudius Cares Fund will solely concentrate on low income families from Jefferson County who cannot afford proper vet care. Especially those who have sick, injured, terminally ill and elderly animals that they cannot afford to have humanely or respectfully euthanized. 

Today we are thankful for you, Sandy Pourcillie. Your big heart and generosity is humbly appreciated.
