PetFolio Reader's Alert: Feeding Pets of the Homeless Gets a Helping Hand
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
206 S. Division St., Suite 10
Carson City, NV 89703

New Sponsor for Pets of the Homeless
Pets of the Homeless, Executive Director, Genevieve Frederick announced that Critter Alert Center is sponsoring the nonprofit with a portion of registration proceeds.
Mark Arnold, CEO of Critter Alert Center picked Pets of the Homeless for his community outreach because of an experience he had with a homeless man and his pet.
“A few of months ago,” he explained, “as I was walking into a convenient store when I noticed a man and his dog standing at the store corner, presumably to be in the shade. As I approached the man, he mustered up a smile and I asked what his dog’s name was. He introduced Rusty to me, who surprisingly put out his paw to shake my hand when I leaned in to pet him. I thanked him on teaching Rusty trick as it seemed to break the ice.
He told me Rusty was a rescue and obviously a mixed breed. The two of them have been together for 6 years and when he lost his job as a banker two years ago, his wife left him and he lost his home. He just could not find work once he went to the streets because of his appearance, yet he did manage to do some yard work from time to time and any other handyman stuff he could find.
As we chatted, he never once asked anything of me. I pulled out a $20 and said to please go inside and get whatever he wanted while I watched Rusty for him. A few minutes later, he came out with several cans of dog food, a pre-made sandwich and few bottles of water. It was clear he spent more money on his pet than he did on himself. He then put his hand out to give me the leftover money. I politely told him to keep it and spend it wisely. As I was leaving, he put his hand out and I shook it. Almost instantaneously, Rusty did the same.
I will never forget. I have looked for them from time to time, but have not had any luck so far. Hopefully something good came to them and they have found a permanent home.
Technology professionals focused on pet-safety founded Critter Alert Center. They understood there is a better way to help recover missing pets. Their goal is to expedite the recovery process so the owner and pet are reunited as soon as possible. Critter Alert Center believes leveraging today’s technology (internet, social media outlets, and wireless communications) is the best way to distribute a missing pet’s information.
Member collection sites of Pets of the Homeless , have provided over 80 tons of pet food. With cash donations the nonprofit has provided veterinary care to over 4,300 pets owned by homeless.
