Superbowl Of Giving To Support Pet Rescue Kicks Off This Week

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Humane Society of Greater Kansas City is holding a supplies donation drive from now through Super Bowl Sunday, Feb 6th, 2011, to support pet rescue efforts. Supply donations support the on-going care of pets in the shelter, allowing cash donations to be funneled toward veterinary bills or other shelter operations costs.

Humane Society of Greater Kansas City (HSGKC) has partnered with Pete and Mac’s Recreational Resort for Pets three KC Metro Area resorts, as  drop off location for donations. In keeping with the football theme, Pete and Mac’s is offering 50% OFF Daycare during their Daycare Kick Off Party Super Bowl Sunday or Boarding on Super Bowl Sunday for any pet that makes a donation during the 7 week Super Bowl of Giving Supplies drive, as well as weekly prize drawings. A supplies wish list is available at any Pete and Mac’s Recreational Resort for Pets, or on our website www.hsgkc.org. Pete and Mac’s Kansas City Area resorts offer pet boarding, dog day care, grooming and training services and are located in Lenexa, KS at 8809 Monrovia; Lee’s Summit, MO at 600 NE Pavestone Dr.; and in the Northland (KCMO) at 5860 NW Prairie View Rd. Find them on the web at www.petemac.com

The number of pets in rescues is at an all time high, as the struggling economy has forced many families to surrender a pet they can no longer care for. Some families in desperate situations have even resorted to leaving their pets behind in foreclosed homes. Your small supplies donations help save these pets. “We are very happy to partner with Pete and Mac’s Recreational Resort for Pets for this effort”, says Robin Rowland of HSGKC.  She continues, “The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City saves and improves the lives of dogs and cats throughout the Greater Kansas City community by providing education, adoptions, spay/neuter and preventative vet services. Your donations support this vital mission.  The shelter is the oldest humane society in the area, serving pets since 1912. They became the first no-kill shelter in the community (1994) and helped create the first no-kill county (Wyandotte) in the area (2008-present). To learn more about the Humane Society visit www.hsgkc.org.”

Please plan to join the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City on Wed, February 23rd from 4pm – 7pm,  at Pete and Mac’s Lenexa resort for a Yappy Hour. Share a drink and some snacks (for you and your dog!), we’ll have great raffle prizes and local artist Jillinda Webster, who donates 50% of her proceeds from her oil paintings to HSGKC, on hand to celebrate.
