Animal Pantry's Four Legged Food Drive Energizes the Pet Community Posted: 12 Aug 2009 06:28 AM PDT Yes, I am still on vacation.....but this couldn't wait any longer. What a fabulous event this was. Central Floridians and dog businesses united to help families feed their pets: Pookies Dog Wash Event Was a Fitting End to the Four Legged Food Drive Central Florida Animal Food Pantry is awash in donations. This young charitable organization, whose objective is to keep dogs with their families by providing needed pet food and other supplies, has been embraced by the pet industry in our area with great enthusiasm. Brent and Tanner Enjoyed the Party Does this mean that Central Florida Animal Pantry no longer needs donations? Of course not! Pets will always need food, and there will always be families in need. Keep those food and supply donations coming, knowing that you are helping families keep their beloved pets. Imagine if you could not afford to keep your pet. What a sad day it would be if I had to give up Xena, Tanner, Oliver or Patches because of a shortage of funds to feed my family. I can hardly imagine. Smile for the Costume Contest, Tanner Oops! You Can't See His Froggy Goggles! With a costume contest, cookout, vendor booths, gift basket raffles, and much more, Pookies of Winter Park was a great venue for this fund raising wrap up. My dogs can attest to the camaraderie, as we visited, in in full costume for the contest, and enjoyed taking photos to share with you here. "Snow White" Certainly is Pure Oliver's Beach Ball was a Perfect Take-Along for Pookies Party Free dog baths were also part of the deal for event participants, as well as a couple of cooling kiddie-pools for anyone to take a dip.
