A lady came in Monday with some food her dog couldn't eat and asked to give it to you all.

Though I know food is the biggest necessity, we can also accept donations of towels, blankets, kitty litter, crates, carriers and other pet related items for the animals!

I do have some food here for Second Hope. Just an idea but coupons for food would help, too. The mnfgrs are putting out a lot more lately. Because I get 3 papers and have a post office box and receive mail at home...I get a lot of coupons.
Clip them and drop them off or mail them to the group.

Doesn't Pepper's have food for sale that you could purchase at her store and just leave there, save yourself the hassle of loading it and unloading it :)
You can even purchase gift certificates at Peppers to put in the stocking :) What a great idea! Then SHR could get what they need for their four legged friends.
I will bring by some items this weekend.

Hope God blesses everyone for their generous donations yesterday at Petco! What an awesome day, many thanks to everyone who stopped by...what a great community.

We are currently in the process of working with local groceries to make them part of SHARP (Second Hope Animal Rescue Partnership). Thanks for the suggestion! We hate to think of pet food thrown away when so many rescues are in need.
