Home Van Pet Care Project News - Christmas 2015

Our Mission:  To provide food for pets of homeless persons in our community; offer education on pet care and spay/neuter; assist with access to veterinary care; foster respect for animals and the animal/human bond. "Still Crazy After All These Years" (Paul Simon 1975) Our primary mission at Home Van Pet Care Project is to provide food for pets of homeless and low income people in our community. We’ve been doing this for eight years, with your help, with love for the animals, compassion for the people, a little craziness, and lots of pet food. CHRISTMAS FOR THE ANIMALS.   At Christmas, in addition to their regular pet food, we prepare a gift bag for each dog or cat. Each bag contains a small toy, a can of special food, and treats. We bring cookies for the people and relax a little with our animal friends and their people. We party at our regular distribution times and places.   As always, we ask you to help us by donating gift items for this event. For the pet gifts, we wi...

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...

HOME VAN PET CARE PROJECT NEWS – September/October 2013

SPECIAL PROJECTS EDITION This time of year we’re getting ready for cold weather and cold rain making life even more difficult for our homeless friends and their animals. We look at our progress through the past several months and try to catch up on needed services and items. DOGS: This week we purchased and distributed a dozen County license tags. These tags cost $20 each for spayed and neutered animals at Alachua County Animal Services and are provided for dogs of people who pick up pet food from our project. We checked our list and would like to buy a dozen more tags. We also purchased a dozen good quality running lines for dogs. These lines give dogs freedom as well as keeping them safe at their campsites. ACAS accepts running lines to comply with the tethering regulations. We’d like to buy another dozen of these. To go with the running lines, we also found some heavy duty, gallon size water bowls that won’t be knocked over so easily, also for use at campsites. We’d like to purchas...
