Gotta Go Out, LLC is hosting the Wishbones for Pets goods and fund drive to benefit Madison Mutts. This year's Wishbones for Pets drive runs from October 19 through November 27, a perfect time to show our thankfulness for what we have, by helping animals less fortunate than our own.
This program will benefit Madison Mutts, a local all-breed dog rescue based here in Madison. Madison Mutts takes in dogs that are "sitting on death row" and provides them with a safe, nurturing foster home, any necessary medical care, and the training they need to find a new forever home. With the precarious economy, many shelters are suffering. Through the efforts of Wishbones for Pets participants, we hope to alleviate some of the hardship. For more information on Madison Mutts, visit their website at www.madisonmutts.org.
Wishbones for Pets was established in 2004. It is the first pet sitter related charity open to all professional pet sitters in North America, and runs annually from mid-October through the week after Thanksgiving. For more information on Wishbones for Pets, see their website at www.wishbonesforpets.com.
During this time, Wishbones representatives throughout the United States and Canada will work with local businesses to collect pet supplies and other necessities for pet charities in their community. Participating businesses allow collection bins and donation boxes to be placed in their businesses where patrons can donate to pets in need. Wishbones for Pets pet sitter representatives will then deliver the collected items to the chosen pet charity the week after Thanksgiving.
Janet Depathy, founder of Wishbones for Pets, says, "This program is beneficial to everyone involved. It raises public awareness of the services of professional pet sitters, recognizes participating businesses, and most importantly benefits pets in need. And, with the economy being precarious right now, we hope people will keep in mind the fact that many shelters and rescue groups are also suffering. Through the efforts of Wishbones for Pets participants, we hope to help alleviate some of the hardship these pet groups are experiencing."
