Update II: Delivered 300 lbs to the Mississippi Animal Rescue League last week. 300 lbs you donated. It was much-needed as the picture above shows. That is ALL the dog food they had, not including our donation. Not much food and they need the help.
Update: Bill at Snooty Pooch said if you tell him its for MARL drive, he will knock $3 off the bag.
FOOD DRIVE: The food drive JJ conducted for MARL earlier this year was very successful. You donated 400 lbs of high-quality dog food that the MARL was able to put to good use. Here is the deal. If you go to either Briarwood Pet Store on Canton Mart or La Chateau la Pooch (The Snooty Pooch) by the railroad tracks in Madison and buy dog or cat food, leave it there and I will deliver it to the MARL. These two stores sell good-quality pet food that is needed by MARL. Needed because most people donate grocery-store pet food but as Ms. Boswell informed me, the food you donated was given to the animals recovering from surgeries (and MARL performs quite a few surgeries at its facility). 5, 15, or 30 lb bag, treats, doesn't matter, just donate. Pictures don't lie. Food drive ends the day of the Fur Ball, September 16.
Most people don't have the time to drive thirty minutes out to MARL. You've got kids, you've got work, soccer, dance lessons and all that keep you busy stuff so I will make it easy for you. Buy the food, leave it at these pet stores, and I will deliver it. Thanks for all of your help this year. The food drive will run through the day of the Fur Ball

good man. i like animals more than people; will go by briarwood.
I live 100 miles from Jackson. If I PayPal you $100 could you use it to purchase the food when you go by and pick up the other donations?
Sure. I'll email you the receipt and give you the phone number there so you can verify the purchase.
The Dog Wash will donate 100 pounds. Could you buzz by our location on I-55 and pick it up?
Sure. Monday ok?
You rock, Kingfish!
Monday is good. We are open from 7:30-6:00.
Thank You!
left a bag at briarwood today... thanks for doing this.
40 lbs. at Snooty Pooch.
Just bought a bag at Snooty Pooch. Not that it's a big deal, but I told them it was for MARL, but didn't get the 3$ discount.
1:33, I got the discount on Saturday when I bought a 40-pound bag of food. I told Bill it was for Kingfish who was doing a food drive for MARL.
Person that bought the food. Bill said he forgot to tell the girl. He said yes, he dropped the ball on that one and to tell him next time you are in there.
This is a good cause, folks. No one works harder for the betterment of our abandoned and abused pets than Debra Boswell and the people at MARL. Please show them some love and buy some food. Bill Billingsley
Thank ya, Mr. Bill. I just know you will be going by Chateau La Pooch to buy some food.
You threw that one over the plate. ;-)
Am I too late to go buy some food? Can I go tomorrow?
Does it have to be purchased at the store, or can I take some other dog food there and drop it off?
I'll be conducting the food drive through September 16, the day of the Fur Ball.
As for other stores. sorry, but that wouldn't work. The Snooty Pooch is a regular sponsor of JJ and that would not be fair to him. Briarwood is a store I happen to patronize and they are supporters of the MARL as well. They sell Science, Natural Balance, and Iams. A 5 lb bag of Natural Balance lamb and Rice is better for a dog (none of that wheat, corn, or other filler), is the same price as a 15 lb bag of pedigree, and will last as long as that same bag of pedigree. The Snooty Pooch sells Wellness, Merrick, and Eagle Pack; all good brands. Both places also sell cat food as well.
Thanks KF. Not a problem. I'll get by there tomorrow.
Yo, KF. Take note.
Just curious KingFish but are you also planning to do a food drive for CARA? I know they need help out there too.
Probably do ARF or CARA on the next one. I chose MARL this time because of the Furball.
I am a regular reader and have never posted.I have two mini weinie dogs that are my kids 10 and almost 9. Have two real ones 22 and 19. Bought both at Briarwood. Because I love them so much I can't complain but if folks haven't already done so should go to CARA or MARL. We just got my daughter's fiancee a lab mix from the Starkville pound. Sweetest thing ever. He is living the good life. Learned a life lesson. I had never been to a pound and am moved forever. These dogs really know that they have been rescued. Sounds weird, but it is true.
Things like this start to restore my feelings about people - there is so much good - and I tend to hear more about the evil people do, watch all those crime shows :> - KF, God bless U - I mean that
KF. Good work. Like that means anything. ;-)
Thank you KK, now get your ass over there and buy some dog food.
