Organization seeks to keep pets fed during holidays
06:22 PM MST on Thursday, November 23, 2006
A local organization is making sure that man’s best friend does not go hungry this holiday season.
The Southern Arizona Veterinary Education and Service Foundation and the Kellen Company are partnering with the Humane Society of Southern Arizona in a Good Samaritan Pet Food Drive to benefit pet owners throughout Tucson.
Donations of pet food and cash will be accepted from November 27 through December 15 at the HSSA shelter at 3450 N. Kelvin Blvd between 9 am and 6 pm seven days a week or the SAVES office in the Kellen Company building at 1604 N. Country Club Road between the hours of 8 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.
“During the holidays, people throughout Tucson are collecting food for needy families but seldom do we hear of food collections for needy pets,” said HSSA President/CEO Susan Wilson. “Unfortunately, some of our fellow citizens may find themselves in a difficult situation, such as a job loss or serious illness, where they temporarily need help in feeding the family pet.”
Donations will also be accepted at these veterinarians office throughout the city:
