Tail Wagger’s is committed to helping people help animals. It is our ultimate goal to be able to support dedicated pet owners who are in need of assistance along with providing necessary funding for those animals in emergency situations.

PET FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Niles

With today's tough economy and the large number of families losing their homes to foreclosure, animals are being surrendered at a much higher rate than just a year ago.  Some animals are not even being surrendered to shelters, they are being left in the home, with no food or water, waiting for someone to show up and realize that they were left behind.  How sad.

Findings indicate that owners are most often surrendering their pets due to the cost of basic maintenance - veterinary care and food - thus causing additional stress in an already sad situation.  That is where we want to help!

The Pet Food Assistance Program is designed so families can comfortably contact us for assistance with their pet food needs. We will continue to help the community as long as food is DONATED to us.  It’s simple - no forms or paperwork - just honesty.  Tail Wagger's wants pets to stay with the families they have grown to love AND eliminate the number of animals heading to the shelter.

Here's How You Can Help:

* If you own a business you can become one of our food collection points - we'll provide you with a sign and barrel.  Pick-up times will be arranged directly with the business.

* Consider making the Pet Food Assistance Program a project with your local scouts, church group, youth group, etc.  We'll help you get started and provide you with everything you need for a successful project! Kids that want to get involved with this program will become part of our Pet Cadet program!

Tail Wagger's is excited to partner with Pet Food & More to benefit the Pet Food Assistance program. General Manager, Steve Shamou offered both the Livonia and Commerce Twp. locations as a way to help gain exposure to this community-based program.

Food barrels and signage will catch the eye of their customers so that they can donate the much-needed food and supplies so that animals and their owners can be assured that we are there for them.

Norton's Joins The Cause In Washtenaw County

Tail Wagger's is excited to announce their newly developed partnership with Norton's Flowers of Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor and their involvement in the Pet Food Assistance program!

Owner, Tim Galea and his wife are big animal lovers and when introduced to Tail Wagger's they felt the need to get involved. Wanting to enhance our Pet Food Assistance program, Tim offered both stores as a drop-off location for the Program. Taking it one step further, it was agreed that ALL FOOD and SUPPLIES that are dropped off at Norton's Flowers would be kept in WASHTENAW COUNTY - so that the people of THIS community could beneft from the generousity of their own neighbors.

We all know that cruelty and neglect are sad examples of society's ignorance or unwillingness to understand the needs of the animals with whom we share our homes and communities. Now, with so many people feeling the stress of a difficult local economy, even well-meaning families are wonderig how they'll continue to feed and care for their animal companions. In an effort to help people help animals, Norton's Flowers & Gifts will collect donations of food, toys, litter, stainless steel bowls, pet supply gift cards and other supplies that might be useful to those people and animals in need.

 

 

If you'd like to donate any much-needed supplies to the Tail Wagger's Pet Food Assistance Program please drop them off at either of Norton's convenient locations:

 

2900 Washtenaw - Ypsilanti   ** 1 Mile East of US-23  or

2577 Jackson Rd - Ann Arbor   ** In Westgate Shopping Center

 

 

WASHTENAW COUNTY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CARE AND CONCERN!
