Buzz About Sacramento: Is the Global Slowdown Affecting Animals Too??

Roger, a brown retriever was looking at his little master Ralph’s sad face. Ralph was crying inconsolably as he knew that Roger would soon have to go. Roger had been his friend, playmate for a quite a few years now and he had been part of all secret pacts and missions. But now the fact remained that Ralph had to go…………………

This is a common scenario in most of the homes in Sacramento. People are trying to give up their pets either to their friends or relatives or are abandoning them. Why would any owner do that? Pets are almost like members of family and why would anyone be harsh or cruel to abandon them? Well the answer is simple: Owners are not able to afford raising their pets.

It might sound funny but it is very much true that Recession has affected pets in Sacramento as their longtime owners are not able to provide food to them.
In a bid to improve the situation and help the pets and their owners, the Sacramento City Animal Shelter has launched a unique program which has come as a relief to hundreds of pet owners. Starting from today that is 25th November, the agency has decided to provide free food for pet along with other supplies to the owners of dogs and cats.

Pet owners can get a month’s supply from the agency for their pets. This innovative program is called the “Titanic’s Pantry”. The residents can visit the agency and get the supplies every month if need arises. This is a yearlong program and the agency also has plans to help the pet owners in getting cheap medical attention and vaccination.

According to the manager of Sacramento City Animal Shelter their main aim is to ensure that owners keep their pets with them instead of abandoning them. Over the past year the number of pets seeking shelter with them has increased by over 10% and this gave birth to “Titanic Pantry”. The agency has collected dog and cat food by taking donations from people, businesses and pet stores.

You can visit the agency on weekdays between 11am and 6pm in the evening. On Saturdays they are open from 10am in the morning to 4pm in the evening. This week they will be closed on Thursday and Friday on account of Thanksgiving.
Let’s help the agency grow and support them in their initiative by making donations. Let us spare poor animals from being victims of Recession. Kids of Ralph’s age need pets for companionship. Isn’t it our duty to give them the best??
