Denver (KDVR) – When a house fire or another disaster occurs, the American Red Cross responds with the help of people who were forced to leave their homes.
But what about their pets? Provides a new animal partnership as well.
Once again in 2013, Colorado pets She opened its doors to provide pet food and other supplies to people who do not want to give up their animals due to financial conflicts. Since then, they have helped thousands in many different scenarios.
Although it was years ago, Marshall’s idea is still in the mind of Eileen Lambert.
“When people flee from the house, they grabbed the dog, caught the cat, and perhaps with white and wheel collars,” said Lambert, founder of Colorado Panneri. “But the dog’s bed did not make the pieces.”
For this reason, she and the daughter presented nearly 2000 families of dogs and cats in the aftermath of this, that memory is now working as a source of inspiration for a new partnership with the American Red Cross.
“We want to be ready and want help,” Lambert said.
The rest groups of pets are the result of this cooperation. Basically, they are good bags before making full of everything that the animal can need that their owners have been forced to leave. Bags aim to remove the sudden transition from their home after a little easier disaster.
Lambert said: “A brush, some foods, kong games,” Lambert said. “They do not know what is happening. All they know is that they are not in their home.”
Then the Red Cross takes these bags to the scenes of disasters, the comprehensive director of the Red Cross, and the logistical director Diana Daljar says that it did not take a long time until they are necessary.
“Within 72 hours of them they made these pets rest groups, the Red Cross responded to the fire of the house as they distributed two groups of comfort to the customer who had pets,” Daljar said.
PET PANTRY is fully dependent on donations to fill the bags, but now, some empty warehouse shelves sit.
“The companies tighten their belts and tighten their belts,” Lambert said.
Those who are and Dalagra hope to keep the upcoming supplies during the warmer months.
“This is not only a welcome, but it reduces tension and gives them a kind of comfort,” said Daljar.
Colorado Pet Pantry accepts new or gently used games, beds, hoops, and even bags of food already opened if you are able to close them. There are 175 sites throughout the state, You can find a list here.
