When businesses, like Bill Dodge Auto Group stand in support of No Bowl Empty 2 & conduct large pet supply drives or other fundraisers they do so at great expense. They spend a lot of time & money promoting it. A successful drive or campaign is important not just to us but to the business as well. If they are not seeing the support from the community they will put the investment into other organizations in the future. Let's show them how much we appreciate their support for pets & people in the community & makes Presidents Day For Pets a success! Bring your donations in to any Bill Dodge dealership in Westbrook, S**o, or Brunswick in February. Let's make this happen!

In honor of Maine State Police K-9 Preacher, I wanted to talk for a minute about Police K-9s. They are not just dogs, they are highly trained Police Officers who are 1000% dedicated to their work. They carry out their mission with laser focus. When shots are fired, they are not ducking for cover, they are running full speed at their target like a heat seeking missile. Their protection is their mouth & body weight (which means they must get up close with the offender). There is no hesitation for their own safety, their sole focus is the mission to protect their handler, other officers, & the innocent. They do this without reservation. Their bond with their handler/partner is stronger than most of us will ever comprehend. They are the definition of protect & serve, of true bravery. In my opinion, the act of harming (shooting, stabbing, punching, etc) a Police K-9 is pure cowardice. My deepest condolences to Preacher's handler/partner Sgt. Russell, the Maine State Police K-9 unit, the Maine State Police, & the entire K-9 law enforcement community in Maine. Preacher is a true hero & his loss hits hard. We can all make a difference in the protection of police K-9s by donating to organizations like Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. (www.vik9s.org), Project Paws Alive - PPAK9 (www ppak9.org), & Brady's K-9 Fund (www.bradysk9fund.com), all nonprofits that donate body armor for K-9s to police departments nationwide. K-9 body armor, like the bulletproof vests human police officers wear, will not provide 100% protection but it does mitigate some of the risk. Maybe we can all make a donation in memory of Preacher 💝
K9 body armor for 1 dog takes donations between $1200 & $1400, collectively we can help another K9 come home at the end of their shift.

I get ridiculously excited when we receive donations of cat food, cat litter, or food/supplies for the pocket pets (hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc) so today I was on cloud nine with supplies a secret friend sent from our Amazon Wishlist AND cat litter Sheila S. sent from Chewy!
