Our Ten-Year Anniversary The other day at Dignity Village a precious little black dog named "Bear" peed on my foot.  I’m sure it was a “thank you” for the food I had brought him. It made me laugh and I was glad I had worn my oldest shoes. A day when I can laugh and feel grateful is a good day in my book, especially a day when I’m distributing pet food to dogs and cats of our homeless friends. Unfortunately when I returned a few days later, I learned that Bear had been stolen. He is a six year old, neutered, long hair black Pomeranian. He was with his owner all his life. He is not at Animal Services. It is a sad fact of homeless life that “things” (including living beings) are stolen.

From Elizabeth Howard, Facilitator Our primary mission is to provide food for pets of homeless persons in our community. We’re coming close to six years of service now so we have a lot of memories of people and animals we have met along the way. We always appreciate the support of our animal community and thank you for your donations. Once a week we distribute pet food in Downtown Gainesville, we also go to the camps and sometimes make home visits for low income and housed clients who need help for their animals. We are known to other animal protection groups and the groups support each other. We have a continuing need for any size bags of dog food and cat food and appreciate if you call ahead for current needs.

From Elizabeth Howard, Facilitator Home Van Pet Care Project had a birthday. Six years now we’ve been seeking donations and distributing pet food for the cats and dogs of homeless and low income people in our community. We celebrated our birthday by relocating our primary distribution place from the downtown library over to the courtyard behind Civic Media Center and the Citizens CoOp … near Wild Iris’ new shop. We had cupcakes donated by Sweet Thursdays (www.sweetthursdayscafe.com), cold bottled water and plenty of pet food for all, due to the generosity of a great many of you. Through the generosity of Citizens’ CoOp, Home Van Pet Care Project is this month’s recipient of the "Be The Change" project. Select http://www.citizensco-op.com/community/be-the-change to see the beautiful web page. Then go over to the Co-Op (435 S. Main Street), purchase some of those beautiful fruits and veggies, and at the cash register, donate your change to Home Van Pet Care project. Kitty J...
