Last week, we received a blessing of twenty pallets of dog food and treats from the Rural King Distribution Center. Having a donation of that size was going to help not only Pike County, but several other counties. I called around to some pounds and came up with a plan. Jackson, Vinton and Meigs all received several pallets of food. This relieved the worry about having food for the next couple of months for everyone.
I had someone make an inappropriate statement about the food wanting to know why we would help other pounds. County dog pounds are the last priority of the county. There is no money set aside to feed dogs. They rely on donations to keep the dogs in their care fed. It was our pleasure to help with those pounds. It was the right thing to do and all of them were happy and relieved to receive it. We all need to work together and see the bigger picture. Gas prices are up, summer is here and donations will be down. But now, we know their dogs will be fed and happy.
We would love to thank Rural King Waverly Distribution Center #896 for their support in our mission of helping dogs. We love working with them to get our dogs and other counties supplies to help with their facilities.
