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). Most people don't have the time to drive thirty minutes out to MARL so I will make it easy for you. Buy the food, leave it at the pet store, 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.

so exactly what is wrong with "grocery store" dogfood? if food is needed, food is needed. beggars can't be choosy.
They are not begging. I am. A 5 lb bag of Natural balance lamb & rice is less than 12 bucks at Briarwood and lasts just as long as does a 15 lb bag of Pedigree because it doesn't have all that filler crap in it and costs about the same amount of money. That filler- wheat, corn, grain, barley- is usually the cause of most allergies in dogs. Dog scratches, sneezes, or eyes drain alot, probably an allergy caused by food.
Briarwood sells Iams, Science, Natural Balance. La Pooch sells Wellness, Eagle Pack, Merrick.
I will buy some food at The Snooty Pooch this weekend. Thank you so much for doing this. You are a Great American!
Thanks. That is a great place and Bill is a great guy. does a really good job. You were a great supporter on the last one. I picked those two stores because I shop at Briarwood for my dogs and the Snooty Pooch is a regular advertiser on JJ. They both have good products and give great service.
I had been buying the 25# bags for you at Briarwood, but hadn't heard anything about it lately, so was wondering if the program was still ongoing. Glad to hear that it is.
Something I'll do every six months or quarter. Don't want to wear out the readers, you know.
Thanks for doing this. Hard times economically means harder than normal times for all of our shelters. Every bag helps.
Thanks for posting this!! The furball is a very FUN event and all proceeds go towards helping the animals!
