Volunteer Spotlight

Madeleine Stevenson, a recent high school graduate, volunteers at Pets In Need on a regular basis. While helping at the clinic, she recognized a need to occupy clients while they are in the waiting room. Madeleine set up "The Little Free Library" book exchange.

Anyone can select a book to read while waiting or take ho me from this free lending library. If you have a book you would like to donate, feel free to drop it off at Pets In Need to expand the library.

Kroger Community Rewards Program

The Kroger Family of Stores is committed to bringing hope and help to local communities through a variety of activities, including charitable giving, sponsorships, and the unique Community Rewards Program. Pets In Need supporters (63 households) who shopped at Kroger between February 1 and April 30, 2016 contributed nearly $500. If you haven't done so already, please register for the Kroger Community Rewards Program and select Pets In Need as the beneficiary of your donation.

Community Events Boost Awareness and Donations

Pets In Need is reaching out to local communities by attending a number of events this summer. On June 8, the Hyde Park Square Wednesday Wine Walk offered a great opportunity to introduce Pets In Need. As the recipient of the event bracelet sales, Pets In Need received a $1,200 donation. A special thanks to Rejuve Cosmetic and Wellness Center for inviting us to participate.

Saturday, June 18 was a beautiful day to participate in the Tusculum Street Fest and connect with another community. The Dog Studio generously offered their booth space to Pets In Need. Visitors to the booth were impressed by our mission and very supportive of the services provided.

Thank you to the volunteers who help spread the word about Pets In Need!
