Giving Thanks and Giving Back Throughout The Year

December 26, 2011 on 9:57 am | In General Posts | No Comments

As we take time to celebrate the holidays with our family and give thanks for all we have, I wanted to share with you some of the ways that we are able to give back and help make a difference in the world.

First, I want to thank all of you for supporting the work we do. Whether you are a pet owner who has visited us in person or talked with us on the phone, or a pet owner who has ordered any of my natural products, your support allows us to help others in need.

While we support national and international charities, here are some of the ways we have helped those on a local basis.

Occasionally we have pet owners referred to us whose pets need medical care, yet because the owners are experiencing temporary financial difficulties they may not be able to afford all of the care the pet requires. Fortunately we are able to help some of these owners with a fund we have established at our office that allows us to provide discounted care for these pets.

We also believe in helping our fellow citizens locally. As such, your support of our work allows us to support the following local charities:

North Texas Food Bank-The food bank provides food to needy families throughout the North Texas area.

Samaritan Inn-The Samaritan Inn provides temporary housing and job assistance to the homeless and unemployed throughout the North Texas area.

David Timothy/The Soup Man-Several years ago David Timothy felt a calling from God to “Feed His Sheep.” He has set up a wonderful program in downtown Dallas to provide hot meals to the homeless five days a week, and recently, through the generosity of benefactors, has started providing homes to many of the homeless as well.

We have chosen to support these wonderful charities which do good work to help others. If you are looking for a charity to support, I would encourage you to consider any of these, especially if you live in the North Texas area.

Thanks for supporting us so that we can help make a difference in the world!
