Week 1 - Rescued Critters Food Drive

Hi Folks,
First, the Really Good News
Sunday was the beginning of a new era of collecting pet food and pet stuff for the Pima Animal Care Center in the Miles Neighborhood. I was excited about getting back to community service and it turns out everyone I talked to was just as energized.
The cash donations amounted to $76.00 and the food weighed in at 8 lbs. There were chew toys and even a large dog crate. 

Diane, my next-door neighbor, suggested the crate and after a moment of thought I said yes. I can give anything pet related to the Pima Animal Care Center, it doesn’t have to be just food. So, everything pet is what I am thinking now. Thanks, Diane.

Kicked off with more cash – On average, One Can A Week generated $54.00 weekly over the seven years. Rescued Critters Food Drive got a major jump on that with $76.00. 
This is the header for the new Rescued Critters Food Drive blog. The address is: RescuedCrittersFoodDrive.blogspot.com.

Over the next few weeks the site will be under construction with new information appearing daily. If you have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to make them.


The beautiful Pima Animal Care Center campus at 4000 N. Silverbell Road. It is only 8 miles away, so you and your family should plan an outing to check out all of the rescued dogs, cats and rabbits and stroll the inviting grounds. Dogs on leads are everywhere accompanied by staff and volunteers. Yes … inviting is the right word. 

As I said, dogs are everywhere which creates a unique and incredibly calming work environment. I find it exhilarating and very motivating. Oh, and to my right is our highly informed contact, Field Sergeant Bennett Simonsen. (520) 724-5580 or Bennett.Simonsen@pima.gov. He is quite busy but always gets back to you.  

See you Sunday,

Peter
