Feeling a little shaggy?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

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.

Nearly 4,000 lbs

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

On September 6th, The Pet Project will have been operating officially for 2 months.  Since we started, we have collected and distributed nearly 4,000 lbs of food.  Help us reach that goal by donating this weekend…..Only 300 lbs to go!

These estimates vary by food type and dogs weight, but some rough estimations:  A 35 lb bag of food will feed a large dog for about a month, and a small/medium dog for six weeks or so, a 10 lb bag of cat food will last for about a month and a half.

You just fed a lot of pets.  Pets with owners who don’t have to worry this month about whether or not their furry friends are hungry.  Each time you reduce someone’s suffering, you add to their joy.

Thank you.
