PET FOOD & SUPPLY DRIVE SET FOR JUNE 2023
By providing food, blankets, leashes and other pet supplies, Friends of Eden Animal Rescue hopes to help keep animals out of shelters and in the arms of their cash-strapped humans.
Many pet owners in the Eden and surrounding Rockingham County communities are often forced to choose between providing for themselves and providing for their animals. To prevent these heart-breaking dilemmas, Friends of Eden Animal Rescue established a pet pantry in 2020 to help our community pets stay full and happy.
Tippy & Friends Pet Pantry opened when the world was hit with the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since that time, requests for pet food/supply assistance has continued to grow.
Tippy & Friends Pet Pantry is set up to help those in our community facing financial hardships to keep their pets home, safe, and well fed. In the past 3 years, we have supported hundreds of dogs and cat families in need in our community.
Tippy & Friends Pet Pantry was established in honor Raymond Uden’s remaining shop cat, Tippy in 2020. Raymond, most famously remembered for his business of more than 50 years – Uden’s Shoe Center, donated his brick-and-mortar stores on The Boulevard in Eden to Friends of Eden Animal Rescue in 2019. His donation was made to aid the Rescue’s efforts in raising funds and raising awareness for animal rescue, adoption, and spay/neuter.
Tippy sadly passed away in May 2022.
Our shelves are in need of restocking and we are seeking donations of pet food, treats, toys, litter, etc. to continue our mission of keeping pets with their families and out of the shelter.
In addition to pet food, we are accepting donations of dog houses and chain link kennels for our 'Give a Friend Shelter' campaign that will assist with providing shelter for outdoor pets that will help provide refuge from the weather.
Donations can be dropped at The Dapper Dog, shipped to 426 Palmer Court, Eden, NC or text 336-912-1178 to schedule a pick up of dog house/kennels.
