Tail Wagger’s USA 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

With today's tough economy and the large number of families losing their homes to foreclosure, animals are being surrendered at a much high 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 comfortable 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 USA 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!

* Become a Tail Wagger's Volunteer and be part of our pick-up team - we'll make it convenient for you!

PLEASE NOTE:

Food will be distributed in the COUNTY in which it was collected
 
On January 9th, Cadette Troop 631 from Riley Elementary School, collected food for the Pet Food Assistance program at the Pet Food and More on Merriman Rd. at Five Mile in Livonia.

Starting out at 11:00 a.m., the Cadette's took shifts and talked with the customers about Tail Wagger's and the Pet Food Assistance program.  The generousity of the customers  was amazing!  By 4:00 p.m. the food barrel was full and over $100 in cash donations was contributed to the program. 

A big thank you to Troop Leader, Kerrie Meloche, the Cadettes and their parents that took the time out of their day to support Tail Wagger's USA! 

Not only did they bring awareness to the Organization, but Pet Food and More agreed to partner with Tail Wagger's and will continue to collect food for our program. General Manager, Steve Shamou was excited about this partnership and also agreed to have their Commerce Twp., store also involved with our program! 

Please patronize Pet Food and More for your pets' needs and thank them for giving assistance to Tail Wagger's USA!
