Your support is needed:
In the past year more pets have become homeless because their families are facing tough economic times. With or without the downturn in the economy, every community has a homeless pet problem. But due to the economic woes here in Porter County, and across the country, the number of pets relinquished to animal shelters and abandoned has increased. We are responding to that need because helping provide free pet food will help some families keep their pets. Each day in Porter County families have had to make a choice between providing for their own living expenses versus keeping a pet. Feed the family or feed the pet? Visit the doctor or provide food and care to the pet? Giving up a pet for lack of ability to care for an animal is a very traumatic experience for both the humans & the animal (s). While animals can also help up emotionally, psychologically, & socially, people who own pets often have better physical health due. ************************************************** A person who has never owned a dog has missed a wonderful part of life. ~ Author Bob Barker If I had a dog I would not feel so lonely, but I suppose that is asking for too much. ~ Author Eva Braun For me a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog. ~Author Roger Caras, President emeritus, ASPCA One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why. ~Auther Unknown All rights reserved The Kibble Kitchen Pet Pantry, Inc. 2011 | Quote from Humane Society United States Indiana director Anne Sterling:“It is our hope these donations will allow Portage’s Kibble Kitchen Pet Pantry to continue to improve the quality of life for local families and their pets,” Sterling said. “This organization serves an important role in its community and The HSUS is proud to support its life-saving work.”
