November 2016
For the month of November we are having a Pet Food Drive to help less fortunate dogs and cats in need. All pet food collected will be donated to two local animal rescue groups: A Dog’s Life Rescue (ADLR) and Modjeska Ranch Rescue (MRR). If you are interested in participating, please drop off your pet food donation at our clinic by November 30th. We are collecting both dog and cat food for all life stages. Hill’s® Science Diet® will also be participating. For every 8 lb bag (or larger) or case of Hill’s® Prescription Diet® purchased at our clinic, they will generously donate a bag of their maintenance diet. Below is more information on where your pet food donations will go.
A Dog’s Life Rescue is a Los Angeles based, all volunteer, non-profit that has saved the lives of thousands of animals. We have worked with them closely and know first hand how devoted they are to the animals they care for. The following are just two of their amazing programs:
Not Forgotten Program – There are thousands of abandoned cats trying to survive on the streets of Los Angeles. ADLR manages several feral cat colonies which require feeding and caring for dozens of cats every single night at different locations. All cats have been spayed and neutered and ADLR provides any medical care that is needed for them.
Furry Family Assistance Fund – ADLR started this program to provide regular dog and cat food deliveries and medical care to pet guardians, who despite adoring their fur kids, cannot afford to provide for them.
Modjeska Ranch Rescue is a non-profit, grass-roots organization located in Silverado Canyon. Many of the animals they rescue are unable to find homes or have been abandoned due to their old age, health issues, and/or behavioral problems. As a result, MRR has opened their doors to provide a safe sanctuary for these forgotten animals. Here is some of the important work that MRR does:
-Provide shelter, medical treatment, food, and exercise for the animals under their care
-Provide a permanent home for senior and special needs animals
-Educate the public regarding animals and how to appropriately care for them
-Re-establish trust in abused animals and allow them time to heal
We are proud to be able to host a pet food drive to help support these amazing animal rescue organizations. Pet food donations are much needed and will be greatly appreciated.
