Angel Tree
Afterwards...
THANK YOU for making
our second annual Puppy Angel tree a huge success!! Partnership
collected four truckloads full of food, toys, beds, chews, treats, brushes,
leashes, collars, kitty litter, boxes, and other supplies to some of Chattanooga's
most-loved dogs
and cats needing some extra tidings
of comfort and joy. What an awesome response! Thanks for the
donations, and for your creative and loving flair. Thanks to the folks
at
Partnership for organizing
the effort, picking up the goodies, and coordinating with the
caseworkers who ultimately delivered your gifts to those who really
needed a helping hand. Thanks for giving us the
opportunity to contribute in a way that made a real difference to people
and their pets during the holidays. Thanks for caring, and for giving,
and for doing. WOW!!!
We are very grateful for the enthusiasm
and outpouring of concern that came from the
Chattanooga Times Press Press article on November 27th
last year, and also from our daycare and training clients
who saw the tree in the lobby and wanted to help out. What a
terrific way to share your love of animals and concern for
the community.

#1: Mary, age 62, is a
recent widow. She has one medium-sized mixed breed dog named
Tootsie, who is great company. Tootsie prefers Purina Beneful and
Milk-Bones. She would like to have a retractable leash. |
#2: Edna, age 74, has a Golden
Retriever named Max. Max is very friendly and loves company. He is
very protective of Edna. Max prefers Pedigree dry or in a pouch with
gravy. He loves squeaky toys. Edna would like to have a retractable
leash. |
#3: Mr. & Mrs. Jones, age60 and 65,
own 3 dogs and 4 cats who live both inside and out. The couple have
very low income and often experience difficulty having enough money
to feed their pets. They would love to have any dry dog and cat
foods, dog biscuits, and cat toys. |
|
#4: Joyce is a 52-year-old woman who
is recovering from a broken back. She and her husband share their
home with Tip, an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd. Tip is a part of
the family; he and Joyce often watch television together. Tip could
use some Purina Dog Chow, a large dog bed, or a tug toy. |
#5: Karen is 48-years old and
suffers from diabetes and depression. She shares her home with a
5-year-old German Shepherd Dog. Karen lives alone in a rural area,
and feels safe with her dog protecting their home. She could use
some cedar chips for the dog bed, Pedigree dog food, and a large dog
house. |
#6: Shirley is 70 years old, and
very frail and weak. She shares her home with 3 cats that appeared
on her doorstep 3 years ago. Shirley says that she does not own
these cats, but that they have made a special arrangement: she feeds
them and they listen to her stories. The cats could use some Fancy
Feast, flea collars, and litter boxes. |
|
#7: James and his wife are an
elderly couple who have four cats that they love dearly: Zo,
Dumpling, Minnie, and Scooter. They live on a fixed income, which
often doesn’t leave enough to purchase food for their beloved pets.
They could really use any donated cat food, but would prefer
Friskies, and a new litter box. |
#8: Louise is an elderly woman with
2 dogs: Lonnie (part German Shepherd) and Splinter (Beagle mix).
Louise also has a cat named Suzy, who recently had kittens. Louise
would greatly appreciate donations of food: Purina for Lonnie and
Splinter an 9 Lives for the cats. |
#9: Dorothy is an elderly woman who
lives on a fixed budget. She has three cats: Josh, Sweetie Pie, and
Petie. Any donated cat food would make this Christmas especially
special and memorable. The cats prefer 9 Live, and could use a new
litter box. |
|
#10: Carolyn is an elderly woman who
has 2 dogs, Chocolate and Petie, and a cat named Peaches. Carolyn
has only a limited income, and would greatly appreciate any
contributions for her pets. The dogs and cat both eat Iams, and
Peaches could use a new large litter box. |
#11: Barbara is an elderly woman
living on a fixed income with very high medical expenses. Her
Chihuahua, Bam-Bam, is very dear to her. Barbara would be very
grateful for any dog food that she could receive for her beloved
companion. |
#12: Joan is a frail woman who has
several cats. She has limited funds, and therefore would be thankful
for any cat food that could be donated for her pets. The cats prefer
Friskies (dry or wet), and would be happy for a toy mouse or ball. |
|
#13: Glenna has a severe mental
illness and numerous health problems. She is very attached to her
dog, Scooter, who brings her comfort and companionship. She lives on
a fixed income, and could really benefit from any donations of dog
food to help her take care of her friend. Scooter prefers Puppy Chow
and Milk Bones. |
#14: Marie is an elderly woman with
numerous health problems living on a fixed income. Her dog, Buster,
is very special to her. Marie would be very grateful for any donated
dog food that would assist her with feeding Buster. |
#15: JC is an elderly man living on
a limited income. He has a dog named Baby, who is like a member of
his family. JC would be very grateful for any donated dog food that
he could receive for Baby. |
