The Pet Project Blog

There’s a lot to be grateful for this year.  So many generous businesses have had food drives for us and we had our first annual Pet Project food drive/fundraiser.   We’ve gotten quite a bit of food this year.  All of the receipts aren’t in, but I think we’re somewhere around 25,000 lbs of food since July.  How wonderful.

Also, thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we’ve been able to assist over 20 families to take their pets to the veterinarian.  The peace of mind that it gives a family to know that their pet is going to be alright is priceless.

Thank you so much to all of you that have supported The Pet Project and I’m looking forward to seeing you in the New Year.

Happy Holidays

ifpetscouldtype.com, an online community devoted to promoting the health and happiness of all pets, announced the expansion of a Feed-a-Pet Program. In the current phase of the program, ifpetscouldtype.com will donate $1.00 for each of the first 500 new ifpetscouldtype.com user registrations to The Pet Project, serving the community of greater Minneapolis, MN.

To support the Feed-a-Pet Program, pet lovers only need to visit the ifpetscouldtype.com website, complete a profile and add a picture of their favorite pet. The funds will be used to help The Pet Project provide needed pet food to resource strapped pet loving families during these tough economic times.

So get started! Sign up at ifpetscouldtype.com and help fill the pet food pantry at The Pet Project to help provide needed pet food to resource strapped pet loving families during these tough economic times.

If you’re starting to feel like you have more and more in common with your fluffy pet when it comes to appearance, it might be time for a haircut.

From now until the end of October, the stylists at Mezzanine Salon are offering $5.oo off a haircut with every bag of food brought in for The Pet Project.  Come in and let us transform your messy mane.

Bruce up at the Gunflint Lodge is just about the best guy ever.

When you get a chance, head up there and enjoy the beautiful scenery, the activities and the cuisine.  And you can do it all with your dog!

We’re meeting at Urbanimal this Sunday, September 20th at 3pm.

Urbanimal is located at 2106 Lyndale Ave S. in Minneapolis

Join us for some snacks and a good time!

My friend Tim sent me this information.  It would be a great way to give TPP some vittles without putting a dent in your own pocketbook.  Let’s give some dogs and cats in the Metro a free lunch (and breakfast and dinner)

Here’s something that’s been posted on lots of the deal/freebie blogs.

Target coupon:http://www.organicgrocerydeals.com/forums/view.php?pg=coupon_generator
Purina coupon: http://www.giveabowl.com

Chef Michael’s 24 oz. bags of dog food are regularly priced at $4.49 at Target. Use the $3.50/1 manufacturer’s coupon here combined with the $1.50/1 Target coupon here to get the bags free after coupons.

Also, Target is running a promotion this week which you’ll earn a $5 Target gift card when you purchase 2 $10 bags of Chef Michael’s dog food. If you’d rather purchase the large bags, you can buy 2 for $20, use 2 of the $3.50/1 coupons and 2 of the $1.50/1 coupons and you’ll spend $10 plus tax out of pocket and get a $5 Target gift card back. Thus, you’ll essentially only pay $5 plus tax for two large bags of premium dog food!
