Seahawks Win The Playoffs And Help Pets!

What a team we have here in Seattle.

SEAHAWKS TEAM UP WITH SEATTLE HUMANE SOCIETY TO COLLECT MUCH-NEEDED PET FOOD
SATURDAY, JANUARY 5 BELLEVUE, WA (January 2, 2008) – Saturday morning, January 5, at the Seattle Seahawks playoff game, the Seattle Humane Society will collect much-needed pet food for their Pet Food Bank. With the needs so great in Washington’s flooded areas, local food banks, including the Seattle Humane Society’s Pet Food Bank, are suffering. Right now, the Pet Food Bank supplies are down 40 percent from this time last year. The need for pet food is critical; the Pet Food Bank feeds more than 1,000 pets of low-income community members, senior citizens, and people with HIV. Game-goers are asked to bring any dog and cat food. There are no restrictions, but the greatest need is for dry cat food. All kinds and types of pet food are appreciated. It will be easy to find the collection barrels. They’ll be right next to the Seattle Humane Society’s new MaxMobile, a bright yellow mobile adoption center parked along Occidental Avenue at the northwest corner of Qwest Field starting at 10:30 a.m. The MaxMobile will be traveling to the game with loving animals who need homes of their own. “What better way to start off 2008 than to bring a pet food donation to ‘Max’ and his friends on your way to this Saturday’s Seahawks game,” says Brenda Barnette, CEO of the Seattle Humane Society. “Your donations will help people in need keep their pets well fed and healthy this year.” For those not going to the game, donations are accepted year-round at the Seattle Humane Society shelter, located in Bellevue at 13212 SE Eastgate Way. For more information on the Seattle Humane Society’s Pet Food Bank, call (425) 649-7567 or visit www.seattlehumane.org . The Seattle Humane Society has been protecting people and pets since 1897. Visit in person at 13212 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue, or online at www.seattlehumane.org to learn more.
