Humane Society responding Last Saturday Humane Society for Southwest Washington employees and volunteers distributed 1,213 pounds of dog and cat food to people who were struggling to feed their pets, reports Chuck Tourtillott, executive director of the society. According to Tourtillott, Saturday was the first day of a new program. “There is a need in the struggling economy to take steps to help keep families together by providing an alternative to surrendering animals,” Tourtillott says, adding, “We don’t want people surrendering their pets simply because they can’t afford to feed them.” The local Humane Society will offer free pet food to those in needed, Tourtillott says. Thus the new Lend a Paw program was born. Those who can are urged to bring un-opened cat, dog, puppy and kitten food donations to the Humane Society, 2121 St. Francis Lane, seven days a week. Also being accepted is food for rabbits, birds, hamsters and other similar pets. For further information, call 693-4746.
