Pet Soup Kitchens: Buy a Tee to Donate Food!

Distressing News...

The current economic crisis has forced loving households to give up their pets over the past few years. As pet owners, we know the love and companionship our pets provide. We can only imagine the stress of such a decision, the effects it would have on a family’s mental health, and the stress on shelters across the nation.

Not to take these things lying down, we, at PoopBags, are dedicating the month of August to raise awareness about and to donate to our local pet food bank, The Animal Welfare League. Of course, we have teamed up with our brand buddies, The Honest Kitchen! We are donating 12 boxes of Keen and – get this – The Honest Kitchen is generously matching our donation with 12 boxes of Zeal! Basically, that’s 240 lbs. of dehydrated, raw pet food. When it’s rehydrated, that’s 1,032 lbs! Woo Hoo!

We would be remiss if we did not include you in this process. If you purchase a PoopBags.com t-shirt from now until August 31, 2011, ALL proceeds will contribute to additional boxes of pet food. Mind you, before 100% of the gross profit benefited select charities. Now, ALL $9 BUCK-A-ROOS will go directly to this food cause! So spruce up your wardrobe and help a dog stay in its forever home!

Other ways to help…We also encourage everyone to donate directly or start a similar pet food pantry drive in their area. Resources can be found at Save Our Pets Food Bank or Pets of the Homeless. Additionally, both organizations provide some troubling facts about how pervasive this problem is. If a pet food pantry is not in a particular area, donate food directly to a local shelter.

Spread the word! Forward this message to your friends and family or share it on Facebook!

Together, we can take positive steps to stop pet relinquishment!
